About Tax Law

The Brazilian tax system is famously complex and costly: companies and individuals often pay more tax than they should, or face assessments that could have been avoided.

Our work goes beyond fixing problems that have already happened: we act strategically, anticipating risks and building intelligent solutions to reduce the tax burden with legal certainty.

The law changes constantly, and the tax reform is a recent example. Having a specialist lawyer means more savings, more predictability and more protection for your assets or your business.

  • Reducing the tax burden safely
  • Defence in tax assessments and foreclosure proceedings
  • Tax planning for companies and business owners

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Tax Law

What does a tax lawyer do?
A tax lawyer works to prevent and resolve tax matters, avoiding both underpayment, with its risk of assessment, and the charging of more tax than is due.
How do I know whether my company is overpaying tax?
The best course is a specialist tax review, examining the company's fiscal structure to identify lawful opportunities to reduce the tax burden.
My business is small. Is it worth hiring a tax lawyer?
Yes. Companies of any size benefit from an efficient tax strategy, and small businesses in particular often overpay for lack of proper planning.
Is tax planning lawful?
Yes. Tax planning is legitimate within the limits of the law, and should not be confused with tax evasion.
How does the recovery of tax credits work?
It involves identifying taxes paid improperly or in excess and starting the administrative or judicial refund process.
