Brazil Reignited Its Tax Debates
Speaking of Brazil, the country’s government just raised new budget concerns after the Chamber of Deputies let Provisional Measure (MP) 1.303 lapse earlier this month. This move created significant setbacks for a planned big tax overhaul plan that sought to raise taxes on online betting, financial assets, and fintech companies.
This created a potential financial gap of almost $10 billion and forced officials to seek other ways to balance public accounts.
