Tax Settlement Agreements

Settle your federal tax debts on special terms negotiated directly with the government.

Through Laws 13,988/2020 and 14,375/2022, the federal government created exceptional terms for settling federal tax debts with discounts of up to 65% on penalties and interest and instalment terms of up to 120 months.

With specialist legal guidance, it is possible to make use of these opportunities strategically, preserving the company's cash flow and restoring its tax standing.

  • Specialist work to secure better terms and to steer the settlement so as to maximise discounts and payment periods within the law.
  • A full mapping of the debts, identification of opportunities to reduce them and construction of the ideal negotiating profile
  • The possibility of obtaining clearance certificates and removing restrictions from your records

Tax Settlement as a Strategic Opportunity for Fiscal Regularisation

Solid Legal Grounds

Tax settlements are provided for in the National Tax Code (art. 171) and were regulated by Laws 13,988/2020 and 14,375/2022, which broadened the benefits available.

Significant Discounts

Reductions of up to 65% on interest, penalties and statutory charges, taking into account factors such as the ability to pay and how recoverable the credit is.

Extended Payment Terms

Payment in up to 120 monthly instalments (10 years), allowing financial planning suited to each taxpayer's reality.

Multiple Options

Four options are available: settlement by application (through published notices), individual settlement (for debts from R$ 10 million), settlement in litigation and settlement in judicial reorganisation.

Tax Regularisation

An opportunity to regularise your tax position and obtain clearance certificates, removing restrictions on your records and opening new opportunities for your company.

Regular Settlement Notices

The federal tax attorney's office and the Federal Revenue Service regularly publish settlement notices with set deadlines to apply. Do not miss these opportunities when they arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which settlement option is the most advantageous?
Choosing the right option calls for careful assessment of the debt profile, the ability to pay and the opportunities currently open, such as active settlement notices. Each option has its own rules, and the wrong choice can forfeit discounts and payment terms that another would have allowed.
Is tax settlement an automatic entitlement?
No. Although it is provided for by law, obtaining the best terms depends on technical analysis of the liability, the right choice of settlement option and, in many cases, building a well-founded proposal. Specialist handling is decisive for the result actually achieved.
Is it possible to obtain the maximum discounts advertised?
The maximum percentages depend on statutory criteria and on the taxpayer's particular situation. Correctly classifying the debts, analysing how recoverable the credit is and the way the negotiation is conducted all bear directly on the final terms of the agreement.
Do I need to map all the debts before applying?
Preferably, yes. Applying without a full assessment can mean including amounts that are not due or missing opportunities to reduce the liability. Checking beforehand allows inconsistencies, time-barred amounts and other relevant factors to be identified before the negotiation.
Are the deadlines and terms of the settlement notices always the same?
No. The notices are issued periodically and carry specific terms, with set application deadlines. Without ongoing monitoring, opportunities can be missed that will not necessarily return on the same terms.
What are the risks of handling the settlement without specialist advice?
The main risks include choosing the wrong settlement option, missing application deadlines, negotiating on the basis of a poorly measured liability and signing up to terms less favourable than those available. Technical handling reduces those risks and maximises the benefits.
How does negotiation work in individual settlements?
In individual settlements and in litigation there is room for the taxpayer to put forward a proposal. The technical soundness of that proposal is essential to its acceptance and to securing better terms.
