1.2 Industrial product tax IPI: This tax is paid by industrial production enterprises, and imported goods are paid by the importer in the import customs clearance process, the tax rate is between 0-50%, according to the NCM and IPI tax rate table, the tax base is CIF CIF plus tariff II
1.3 Import Duty II: The tax rate is between 1-30%, and the tax base is CIF of the goods
1.4 Export duties IE: In order to incentivize exports, export taxes are levied in a very narrow scope
1.5 Financial Action Tax IOF: A 2% tax rate on financial transactions such as credit, foreign exchange, insurance and securities
1.6 Provisional Financial Circulation Tax CPMF: Also known as cheque tax, the tax rate is 0.38%
1.7 Agricultural Land Tax ITR: The tax is calculated on the user of agricultural land, and the tax is calculated on the basis of the value of the land used itself, between 0.03% and 20%.

2、State tax

2.1 Turnover tax ICMS: also known as commodity circulation service tax, the tax rate is mostly 17%-19%, and the tax generated in the sales and circulation of goods, including gift samples and display products (free of 60 days), is similar to domestic VAT. It is a state tax, and each state has different regulations, so when selling or transferring across state lines, there will be an interstate tax of 4% (more than 40% of products imported), 7% (from the southeast to the northeast or the Midwest) or 12% (other interstate transactions)
A. The tax base of ICMS import is CIF, ii, IPI, PIS, COFIN plus customs clearance fees;
B. The tax base of ICMS circulation is the sales price plus sales expenses (freight, insurance interest, etc. borne by the buyer), and some IPI is also added
Take the 18% ICMS tax rate for large Brazilian enterprises as an example:
ICMS tax has been paid in the import customs clearance process, the input invoice is 500,000, the import needs to pay 500,000 * 18% = 90,000, the sales invoice is 600,000, the sales invoice can offset the 90,000, and the actual payment should be 600,000 * 18% -9 = 18,000
Example of tax calculation during import customs clearance:
Let's say the value of the product is $100,000, the shipping cost is $10,000, the insurance is $100, and the exchange rate of the US dollar to the real is 1:4
The tax rate is an example, it is all hypothetical, for reference only, and the specific situation shall prevail.
