In Zahlen
The Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (Receita Federal) has officially announced that companies in the event sector can recover taxes they paid unduly or offset them against future taxes. This covers companies that mistakenly made payments despite having the right to benefit from a zero tax rate under the Event Sector Restart Emergency Program (Perse).
The relevant correction covers four different federal taxes: PIS/Pasep, Cofins, IRPJ, and CSLL. In this practice, clarified by Cosit consultation ruling No. 104 published in the Official Gazette, companies must prove that they met the program's conditions for the period in which they were supposed to be tax-exempt in order to claim back their payments.
The Federal Revenue Service emphasized that the new and stricter law enacted in 2024 cannot be applied retroactively. This situation provides legal certainty to businesses that earned their rights before the new regulations came into effect. The refund process will be carried out through individual applications, with a separate evaluation for each tax period.
