Brazil Will Have “The Best Tax System in the World,” Says Finance Minister About Reform. Fernando Haddad Says the Model Approved in Congress Will Be a Global Reference and Supported by Technology Capable of Processing 70 Billion Documents Per Year
The Finance Minister, Fernando Haddad, stated that Brazil is on its way to having the best tax system in the world with the implementation of the tax reform enacted in January 2025. The statement was made during a meeting of the Sustainable Social Economic Development Council (CDESS), the “Conselhão,” emphasizing that the advancement will place the country alongside other areas already praised by the government, such as the electoral and banking systems.
Haddad revealed that the Federal Data Processing Service (Serpro) received investments of R$ 1.6 billion to enable the necessary technological structure. The new system is expected to process more than 70 billion documents per year, a volume that, according to him, will be 156 times greater than the total transactions of Pix. The goal is to ensure agility, transparency, and security in tax operations.
How Will the Tax Reform Be Implemented
The tax reform was approved by Congress in December 2024 and enacted on January 16 of this year, profoundly altering the country’s tax system. After the constitutional change, it was necessary to regulate technical and operational points, a task conducted over the past few months.

According to Haddad, 30 working groups were formed to address the regulation, and more than 32 groups dedicated themselves exclusively to technological implementation. Two hundred representative entities from the economic sector participated in the discussions, aiming to build a model considered modern and efficient.
Expectations from the Productive Sector
During the meeting at the Conselhão, the president of the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Fiesp), Josué Gomes, defended the importance of a more balanced tax system. For him, a well-distributed tax burden is essential to improve Brazil’s competitiveness.
Gomes also called for strengthening international partnerships and attracting foreign investments, citing American companies as examples of actors that historically invest in the country. “Brazil needs to look to all corners of the planet in search of opportunities,” he stated.
A Model That Aims to Be a Global Reference
Haddad’s speech about the best tax system in the world reinforces the government’s bet on reform as a driver of economic modernization. The combination of tax simplification, intensive use of technology, and active participation from the productive sector is pointed out as a differential for the model to be an example of efficiency and transparency.
