The Brazilian Tax Reform changed the rules. Is your master data ready?
Incorrect information about Vendors, Customers and Materials can directly impact tax credits, withholdings, tax calculation, compliance and financial results.

The Tax Reform does not only demand fiscal changes. It demands reliable data.
The new tax model raises the importance of data quality. Information that used to be corrected manually now has to be validated automatically in an increasingly digital and integrated environment.
In practice, master data inconsistencies can lead to:

#DestinationPrinciple
Accuracy and certainty about your customer's address is essential for VAT.
Your company needs to be ready for the changes.
The vendor's tax regime has changed. What now?
Changes in tax classification, especially those related to the Simples Nacional regime, affect withholdings, tax credits and ancillary obligations. Your company needs to continuously monitor changes in vendor regimes.
The vendor's financial risk has become a tax risk.
In the new tax model, a partner's financial situation directly influences how safely IBS and CBS credits can be used. Defaulting vendors can mean credit loss, cash-flow impact and higher tax risk.
An incorrect address can mean incorrect taxation.
Under the destination principle, the customer's address defines the correct incidence of taxes. Outdated data can lead to incorrect payments, tax inconsistencies and assessment risks.
An inconsistent product record is expensive.
Inadequate technical descriptions, incorrect NCM codes, invalid GTINs or inconsistent units of measure compromise correct taxation and significantly increase tax risks.
Cleansing fixes the past. Governance protects the future.
Correcting the database once does not prevent new errors from entering the ERP. The Tax Reform requires continuous processes for validating, approving and monitoring master data.
