The document discusses the history and development of value-added taxation in Brazil. It summarizes that Brazil was influenced by the French VAT model and the work of Carl Shoup in adopting a VAT system in the 1960s. The system was decentralized and revised in the 1988 Constitution. Most recently, Brazil has implemented a unified federal VAT and removed taxes on gross revenue, bringing its system more in line with international standards.
