Tax cuts for everybody eventually… The most friendly budget?
Leading his third Federal Budget, Treasurer Scott Morrison has focussed on tax cut “affordability” and delivering a “responsible” budget that will encourage consumer spending and economic growth, without damaging the reduction of the national debt and drive to surplus. The winners in the 2018 budget are taxpayers on lower income tax brackets, older Australians and small business.
In keeping with previous years, this year’s budget delivered few surprises. But the question remains – has Treasurer Scott Morrison done enough to convince the electorate that the Coalition Government should be returned to power? It is a fine balancing act for the Government as it endeavours to appease the electorate – which has not seen an increase in real wages for several years amidst rising household costs – while, at the same time, needing to maintain its position of being fiscally responsible and getting the economy back into surplus by 2019-20.

Tim O'Rahilly from PwC gave a presentation to the Dublin Chamber of Commerce on 30 November 2011 about the current Irish tax environment, Budget 2012, and trends in tax-efficient structuring. He discussed how the tax system has changed significantly in recent years due to the public finances crisis, with new taxes introduced and reliefs restricted.

6. The Challenges
6
Brazil has some of the most stringent laws in the world surrounding
basic sales transactions and a highly complex tax system…
Brazil is a protected country
• For that reason there are huge opportunities for those who decide facing the
challenges of investing
No EVA
Tax is collected in many different stages of business
Numerous tax Schemes and forms
Many “codes”
• Constitution (more than 300 articles)
• Tax Code
• Civil Code
• Commercial Law
Federal, State and Municipality tax authorities are not connected; different
databases
Slow court system – 3 jurisdictions for tax matters
7. The Realities: General Taxes Overview

Corporate Taxation – Federal Corporate Income Taxes
Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ)
• Net taxable income, applied at 15% over collection basis
Social Contribution Tax on Profits (CSLL)

“Reciprocity Treatment”
Reciprocity Treatment
• Income taxes withheld by customers in Brazil are available as
foreign tax credits in the US by the US supplier
• Only meaningful to the extent that they will actually lower
federal US tax payments for the supplier
11. The Realities: Tax Scheme
11
Actual (or Real) Profit System: Net taxable income is equal to net book profit
applying Brazilian GAAP and appropriate inclusions and deductions according to
regulation.
Presumed Profit System: Taxable income based on net profit. Restrictions: (a)
up to 48 million revenues preceding year (b) are not financial institutions (c) do
not earn foreign profits, income or gains and (d) do not qualify for an exemption.
Arbitrated System: under inadequate circumstances of accounting records, tax
authorities may arbitrate profits. Taxable income based on net profit.
Key Considerations:
• Tax Schemes can be changed annually in the beginning of the fiscal year as of
January 1st to December 31st.
• Most companies present a pre-operational period of accumulating expenses and
consequently, losses.
12. Scenario #1: Tax Scheme for Brazilian Business
12
The Situation:
The VP of Finance learns that Brazil presents two tax schemes for fiscal
purposes and needs to decide whether the company should choose
Presumed Profit or Actual Profit.
Key Consideration:
Understanding the maturity and operational margin for its
business abroad will support the decision of tax scheme.
13. Scenario #1: Tax Scheme for Brazilian Business
13
The Solution:
Step 1: Determine the gross margin and pre-operational period
In the Business Plan process, viability analysis will present financial projections
to be used for local tax planning.
Margin comparison
• Presumed Profit will determine margin for taxable income
• Generally, in case of services 32% and goods, 8%
• Comparing business margins with presumed margins is key for the proper
choice
Business Maturity period
• Depending on company activity and permits required, it is possible to take
a few months to get the business off the ground and running
• Accumulated expenses in Real Profit scenario is a great advantage
14. Scenario #1: Tax Scheme for Brazilian Business

Step 2: Building scenarios for Real and Presumed profit
On a monthly basis, it is possible to create projections over financials. In our case
the example refers to a goods business.
