Recoverable credit
A clear local invoice lets a corporate buyer credit CBS/IBS, cost they otherwise just absorbed.
We make your solution cost up to 30% less for corporate customers in Brazil and Latin America.
Same contract. Same price to you. We make the Brazilian buyer's total landed cost drop by unlocking the tax credit they're already owed, and the deal you were losing on tax closes. No local entity required.
Your price doesn't change. What your buyer effectively pays does.

Illustrative range. Your exact figures depend on service classification and the buyer's credit position.
We don't discount. We unlock what your buyer is already owed.
No cascade error
Taxes computed correctly, not stacked in cascade the way a direct wire often gets.
Full compliance
The savings are real because everything is paid correctly, not because corners were cut.
Four people decide. Each one has a number.
Your deal doesn't die in sales, it dies in the approval chain, and every link is a cost or risk question.
“What's the real landed cost?” Lower, once the credit they can lawfully take is priced in.
“Can I approve this supplier?” A local-ready invoice fits their workflow first try.
“Who pays IRRF, IOF, CIDE?” Answered up front, so the credit is claimable.
“Who carries the liability?” Clear terms, no exposure to the buyer.
The Netflix / CIDE case.
When Brazil enforced CIDE on digital services, Netflix, along with other foreign streaming and SaaS providers, became liable for a contribution tax on cross-border technology transfers that had previously been invisible to most commercial teams.
It didn't arrive through the product roadmap or the sales pipeline. It arrived through tax policy, and it quietly changed who was on the hook. The vendors who see these shifts coming stay easy to buy from, and win the deals others get stuck on.

Invisible until enforced
The reform makes the gap wider
every quarter.
Tax layer on imported digital services
CBS/IBS replaces today's regime with a higher VAT-equivalent band.
That gap changes how Brazilian buyers weigh a foreign vendor, and because IRRF, IOF and CIDE can still apply on top, it's worth a look from your finance and sales teams too.
+ IRRF
+ IOF
+ CIDE
= rising total cost
