"LEI DO BEM" - LAW No. 11.196/2005
Law No. 11,196 of November 21, 2005, known as the Good Law, grants tax incentives to companies that carry out technological innovation activities and projects in the national territory. Investment in RD&I is directly related to improving the competitiveness of companies and the country.
Therefore, the Lei do Bem aims to promote a virtuous cycle by granting reductions in the tax burden.
ICT LAW - LAW No. 13.969/2019
The Information and Communication Technologies Law (Law No. 8,248/91, recently amended by Law No. 13,969/19), provides for the training and competitiveness of the information technology (ICT) sector.
The Information Technology Law is intended for all hardware and automation companies that invest in Research and Development, prove Fiscal Compliance and are producers of an item whose NCM (Mercosul Common Nomenclature) is included in the list of products encouraged by the Law.
The main change in the Legislation is in the format of the benefit, which is currently the reduction in the IPI (Tax on Industrialized Products) by 80% when the product leaves the establishment and, from April 2020, will be through financial credit. This credit can be earned annually or quarterly.
SUDENE AND SUDAM
As a fiscal instrument of the National Policy for Regional Development (PNDR), tax incentives and benefits compete together with constitutional and development funds for the attraction and local promotion of new investments, functioning, in particular, as an auxiliary element in the improvement of economic development and of the North and Northeast regions, stimulating the growth of sectors of the economy considered by the Federal Government as priorities for these regions.
The importance and necessity of the fiscal mechanism in attracting new investments and maintaining existing ones are based on the observation that historically production and per capita income in the North and Northeast regions have always been and continue to be lower than in the dynamic centers of the national economy. which makes these regions tend to attract fewer companies than the richest regions and, consequently, grow less.
SPECIAL TAXATION REGIMES
EX-TARIFF- The Ex-Tariff regime consists of the temporary reduction of the import tax rate by up to 0%, for capital goods (BK)* and computer and telecommunication goods (BIT), when there is no equivalent national production.
RECAP- Special regime for the acquisition of capital goods for exporting companies that suspends the requirement of Contribution to PIS/PASEP and COFINS.
REIDI- Special Regime of Incentives for the Development of Infrastructure through the suspension of the requirement of Pis and Cofins levied on services, materials, machines and equipment destined to fixed assets;
