Tax Reform and
VAT implementation in Brazil
Thursday, October 5, 2023
8:30 to 10:30 a.m.
(Eastern Time - U.S. and Canada)
 

Brazil’s tax reform represents a milestone achievement. While estimates are imprecise and actual results will depend on conditions at the time, the reform could potentially boost GDP from its current sub-2% trend to closer to 4%. The new regime consolidates five different federal, state, and municipal taxes, which were previously subject to 27 different state-level and 5,600 municipal-specific legislations, numerous exemptions, incentives, and sector-specific credits. These taxes were charged cumulatively, with taxes due upon taxes, and paid at the point of production. The new regime replaces this with a non-cumulative dual VAT charge, paid upon consumption of the goods / services, with three rates: federal, state, and municipal. To maintain the same level of tax revenue, the combined rate will be high (at least 25%) and may increase depending on costly exemptions being discussed in Congress. Conditions are favorable for the constitutional amendment to be approved in 2023, with additional laws detailing important components needing approval in 2024. The transition for taxpayers will take a decade to complete. But for a proposal that has been in the making for four decades, this is a remarkable achievement.


The Chamber has gathered a panel of experts to discuss Brazil’s VAT reform and its impacts on the legal environment, entrepreneurial expectations, and growth.

Carlos Sabugo – the Brazilian filmmaker who will tell the New Version of Brazil's most famous penitentiary  in movie for 2024.





 Carlos Sabugo, renowned Brazilian filmmaker, has just announced his newest film project: "The Carandiru - The New Version". The film aims to portray the true story and harsh reality of Brazil's most famous prison, known for its stories full of drama and tension.

 

Scheduled for release in 2024, the filmmaker completed 60 years of artistic career this year, and in 1963 he began his career as an author, actor and journalist in theater, moving on to TV and circus art. From then on he began small cinematic experiments.

 

Born in Vila Pompéia in São Paulo – SP, Carlos Sabugo is the founder of the 1st Stunt Academy in Latin America (Águias de Fogo), he was the 1st actor of the animated telegram in Brazil | Telegrama Legal (SBT), reconstruction of crimes for all journalistic programs on Brazilian television. He became a record holder with the coverage of Fantástico going from São Paulo to Santos by Monocycle,, record holder in 60km, and, finally,, record holder for 60 hours of stage show at Cinelândia-SP (Exílio do Mundo event), among many others stories. The renowned filmmaker had a screenwriting teacher, Syd Field (Hollywood screenwriter).

 

His CV includes more than 50 commercials, including the one for Gelol, Trapalhões' first commercial, which was awarded a global award, as the first video cassette in the world.

 

With a solid career that spans from 1963 to the present day, Carlos Sabugo has a vast CV of television productions that marked an era. Working alongside big names such as Mara Maravilha, Sérgio Malandro, Bozo, O Trapalhões and Xuxa, he won the hearts of the public and became a reference in the world of artistic productions.

His remarkable experience as presenter of the program "TV Criança" on Band, contributing to the training and entertainment of thousands of children across the country, and a children's show within the programming schedule of "A Mulher da o Mescado" on TV Record .

 

This positioned his name as one of the important names on Brazilian TV. Furthermore, Carlos Sabugo also had the opportunity to work with great national TV and cinema directors, such as: Walter Avancini, among others.

 

However, his creativity and talent were not limited to television. Carlos Sabugo is also the author of an autobiography entitled "Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll", in which he explains behind the scenes of theater, cinema, circus and television in Brazil. The book reveals secrets and curiosities about the productions and brings to light the experiences of the filmmaker throughout his career.

 

Now, with "O Carandiru - A Nova Versão", Carlos Sabugo seeks to bring to the public a different vision of the reality lived within the walls of this emblematic prison. The director intends to explore the characters, their motivations and the life stories that led them to this extreme situation.

 

The film promises to feature impeccable production and outstanding performances, characteristics already present in all of Carlos Sabugo's creations. His sensitive vision and ability to convey emotions through the screen guarantee that "O Carandiru - A Nova Versão" will be a realistic and engaging portrait of this tension-filled environment.

 

It is expected that the film will not only portray the reality of Carandiru, but also stimulate reflections on the Brazilian prison system. Carlos Sabugo, known for addressing social themes in his productions, should bring to light issues such as overcrowding, the lack of assistance to inmates and the challenges faced by the institutions responsible for the reintegration of prisoners into society.

 

With his vast experience and unquestionable talent, Carlos Sabugo has everything it takes to deliver an impactful film to the public that will mark the history of national and international cinema. "O Carandiru - A Nova Versão" is another remarkable chapter in the trajectory of this renowned filmmaker, who continues to surprise and captivate the public with his quality and relevant works.

Fine Art  Beth Ribeiro in exhibition at the Salao Negro at National Congress in Brasilia- DF.



The fine artBeth Ribeiro had a notable participation and prominence in the Exhibition "Intercâmbio Cultura Brasil x Israel: Olhares de Israel", promoted by Estúdio Mosaico Cida Carvalho, in the Black Room at National Congress, in Brasília, on September 21, 2023 .

Beth Ribeiro, born in Caconde- SP, found Brasília the ideal setting to express her art since 2000, when she decided to settle in the Brazilian capital. Her passion for painting and visual arts has always been evident, and her technique and talent have led her to gain a prominent place in the local artistic community.

The exhibition "Cultural Exchange: Views of Israel" celebrates the 72nd anniversary of the State and Israel brought Beth Ribeiro presenting the work Dente de Leao – “The Flower of the Resurrection”, which has been on display in the Salao Negro of the National Congress since September 21 on October 2nd in Brasilia- DF.

The artist was able to share her unique vision and artistic personality, full of bright colors and striking shapes. Her works are a true representation of her view of the world, and through them, the public was able to experience the emotions and experiences that the artist conveys in each brushstroke.

  The work exhibited by Beth features the representation of a desert plant that represents the people of Israel, and is known to be an expert in the art of survival because it grows wild in the most inhospitable places, in a climate that would kill many other plants. This species is also known as the resurrection plant, which survives without water and wakes up when it rains again.

The artist states that the work illustrates well the people of Israel, who lived and live in a hostile climate, as well as the “Resurrection Plant”, the Israelis also demonstrate that they are superior in the art of survival. They were deprived of water sources, excluded from groups, organizations and corporations, in addition to being expelled from cities, states, and having their assets expropriated, but they survived and flourished. Israel became known as the “resurrection people,” resurrected in these 72 years, as they came back to life, overcame adversity and made the earth fruitful.

 

Beth Ribeiro's participation in the exhibition was a true celebration of cultural diversity and an opportunity to appreciate the talent of an artist who manages to capture the essence of a country as distant as Israel and translate it into works of art that move and enchant.

Furthermore, Beth Ribeiro's presence in the Black Room of the National Congress, a place so emblematic and representative of the country's power and history, only reinforced the recognition and admiration for her work. Her participation in the exhibition was a true milestone in her artistic career.

Beth Ribeiro is an example of an artist who, with dedication and persistence, manages to achieve the recognition she deserves. His participation and prominence in the exhibition "Cultural Exchange: Olhares de Israel" is a reflection of his talent and his ability to transmit emotions through his works of art. The artist is already celebrating her participation in Haifa-Israel in November at Gallery Bertha Omanin Shagal, where she claims to be an exchange of relevant artistic interest for Brazilian, Brasilia and Israeli b culture due to the exchange of knowledge and culture between the artists.

May Beth Ribeiro continue to enchant the public with her art and represent Brazil in exhibitions and shows around the world. It is with great pride that Brasília counts her as one of its most talented artists, and her participation in the exhibition "Intercâmbio Cultural: Olhares de Israel" will certainly be marked in the history of art in the federal capital.

We need your attention, things are getting serious in Virginia.

Here are three reasons why we need you to chip in $7 to the DLCC to elect state Democrats:

  1. Democrats hold an ultra-thin majority in the Virginia Senate and only need to flip THREE seats in the House this November.
  2. Far-right Republicans are kicking into high gear – Gov. Youngkin’s PAC has already raised over $18.5 million this cycle.
  3. Democrats are rushing resources to prevent a total Republican takeover in Virginia – President Biden even directed an additional $1.2 million in funding for Virginia Dems.

Democrats across the country have already stepped up to help out, but we just checked the numbers, and it might not be enough to keep up with GOP spending. So we’re asking: Will you rush $7 to defeat the GOP in Virginia and beyond?

Scrolling Contribution List

We need to be able to compete with the GOP’s millions if we want to BLOCK Virginia Republicans’ extreme agenda – but we’re not quite there.

We cannot get the job done without your support. Can we count on you to step up for the first time this year and own a piece of this fight?

Donate $7, $25, or even $50 ahead of Election Day in Virginia. Your support will help mobilize voters, close the gap in Republican spending, and expand our power in key legislatures where abortion is on the line.

If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.

The state of Alabama and the corrupt GOP will stop at nothing to strip away equal representation from Black voters.

Once again — in open defiance of a Supreme Court order and Voting Rights Act — our Secretary of State appealed the latest Federal Court decision in an attempt to deny our right to a second Black-majority district in advance of the 2024 election.

It’s clear the GOP isn’t giving up on this fight — and neither can we. That is why we need to raise $7,801 before the end of the week to fight back and defend my seat.

I am counting on you. Can you click here and split a donation of $10 between Sewell for Congress and The Collective PAC to help defend my seat and a second Black-majority district right now:

The nation is watching. With control of the House on the line in 2024 and a razor thin Republican majority — Kevin McCarthy and his extremist friends in Congress are going to fight for every last gerrymandered seat.

We can’t let them. Split a donation of $10 between Sewell for Congress and The Collective PAC before it’s too late so that I have the support we need to defend my seat. Alabama won’t be the GOP’s path to victory>>>

For our right to vote,

Terri Sewell
