flag Brazil expands tax breaks for low earners, exempting up to 15M from income tax starting 2026.

flag Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a law expanding income tax exemptions, exempting individuals earning up to 5,000 reais ($940) monthly from federal income tax—more than doubling the prior threshold. flag The reform, effective in 2026, will benefit around 15 million Brazilians, with 10 million no longer paying income tax and 5 million receiving reductions. flag To offset lost revenue, a minimum effective tax rate of up to 10% will apply to high earners making over 600,000 reais ($113,000) annually, targeting roughly 140,000 wealthy individuals. flag The bill passed both chambers of Congress unanimously, reflecting broad support and marking a political win for Lula ahead of his expected 2026 re-election campaign.
