Brazil Receita Federal clarifies PIS/Cofins tax exemption for Manaus Free Trade Zone
The Brazilian tax authority (Receita Federal) ruled that the zero-rate PIS/Cofins tax benefit for sales to the Manaus Free Trade Zone (ZFM) remains exempt from the 10% reduction mandated by Complementary Law No. 224 of 2025. This decision provides regulatory certainty for companies operating within the ZFM, preventing an unintended tax hike on goods destined for the region.
