Federal Revenue Prepares Intelligent System That Promises to Revolutionize Tax Collection in Brazil. The Platform, According to Specialists, Should Cross Data on Payments and Invoices, Making Tax Evasion Practically Impossible by the End of the Next Decade.
The Federal Revenue is developing a new collection system that promises to revolutionize how Brazil collects and audits taxes.
The project, based on artificial intelligence and large-scale automation, is expected to virtually eliminate tax evasion in the country by the end of the next decade.
The information was originally presented by Raul Sena, an investment specialist, in a video published on his YouTube channel Investidor Sardinha.

Bauer Group collapses after failed judicial recovery: 25 years, 800 vehicles, and a network of gas stations leave a debt of R$ 50 million and 100 layoffs, exposing costs, tight margins, and expensive credit in Brazil.
According to him, the platform represents “an unprecedented advance in the history of Brazilian tax administration,” with the ability to automatically cross payment data and invoice issuance.
System 150 Times Larger Than Pix
According to an article cited by Sena and published by portal G1, the new system from the Federal Revenue will be 150 times larger than Pix in terms of processed data volume.
The comparison is justified because, while Pix handles information about the sender, recipient, and amount, the new model will also include details about the product, service, buyer, and seller.
As the specialist explained, the objective of the Federal Revenue is to centralize and automate all tax collection on consumption — the IBS (Tax on Goods and Services) and the CBS (Contribution on Goods and Services).
These two taxes will gradually replace the current PIS, Cofins, IPI, ICMS, and ISS.
“The system will process around 70 billion documents per year, which is equivalent to the total number of electronic invoices issued in the country,” Sena highlighted.
He also commented that the advancement of artificial intelligence has made “it almost impossible to hide financial transactions,” and that the federal government has only not implemented stricter measures sooner due to political and unpopularity reasons.
How the New Collection Model Will Work
The specialist explained that, in practice, the system will prevent the common practice of sales “without an invoice”.
“When the consumer pays for a product or service, the platform will instantly cross-check the amount paid with the amount reported on the invoice. If there is a discrepancy, the system will notify the Federal Revenue,” he stated.
According to Raul Sena, the process will be automatic and will not depend on any reporting.
“There will no longer be any ‘I made a mistake when declaring’. The Federal Revenue will know how much entered the cash register and how much was declared. If there’s a difference, it will detect it on its own,” he added.
The new system will also include a mechanism called split payment, which will automatically divide the amount paid between the seller and the government.
That is, taxes will be transferred in real-time to the coffers of the Union, states, and municipalities. “The tax money will no longer even pass through the company’s cash register,” Sena said.
End of Evasion in Retail and Small Businesses
Raul Sena emphasized that the impact will be profound, especially among small merchants and freelancers, where informality is still high.
“Today, many establishments hardly issue invoices. Gas stations, neighborhood markets, and even taxi drivers rarely provide tax receipts,” he observed.
According to him, the automatic cross-checking of data should eliminate a large part of the evasion in this segment.
“When payment is made via Pix, card, or bank transfer, the system will already separate the owed taxes and transfer them instantly. The only way to escape would be to pay everything in cash — something increasingly rare,” he commented.
The specialist recalled that the platform is in a pilot phase with about 500 companies and is expected to fully operate from 2027, after a testing period starting in 2026.
Transition Until 2033 and Increase in Revenue
According to Sena, the new system will be part of the tax transition planned between 2026 and 2033, when the current consumption taxes will gradually be replaced.
The expectation is that revenue will significantly increase, potentially yielding between R$ 400 billion and R$ 500 billion additional per year to the federal government, according to estimates from specialists cited by him.
“Brazil will collect more, but ideally, with the end of tax evasion, the government would lower rates. However, I personally doubt that this will happen,” the commentator stated.
Impacts on Accountants and Brazilian Companies
As Raul Sena explained, the new system will transform the work of accountants in the country.
Instead of seeking tax loopholes, the role will shift toward efficiency and financial planning.
“A large part of the work of filling out invoices and declarations will be automated. The accountant will finally be able to play a strategic role,” he assessed.
He added that companies will need to invest in technology and data integration, since “spreadsheets and manual operations will no longer suffice.”
Companies that rely on tax loopholes to maintain profitability may face difficulties. “There are businesses that only survive because they evade taxes. This type will go bankrupt,” he warned.
Expected Benefits and Automatic Tax Credits
In addition to combating evasion, the system will bring efficiency gains.
Sena mentioned that the model will allow for real-time reimbursement of tax credits, which will prevent double taxation at different stages of the production chain.
“Today, the same product can be taxed multiple times before reaching the consumer. With the new system, this distortion ends. The company pays only on the value it actually adds,” he explained.
According to him, this will bring Brazil closer to the tax standards of developed countries, making the business environment more predictable and less bureaucratic.
The Future of Tax Declarations in Brazil
Raul Sena also stated that, with the advancement of tax automation, individual taxpayers may stop manually filling out their income tax return.
“The Federal Revenue will already have all the information. The citizen will only need to correct anything if they disagree with the calculated amount,” he said.
He also commented that the system tends to eliminate the need for separate investment declarations, such as stocks and funds.
“Everything will be recorded automatically. The era of tax evasion is coming to an end,” he concluded.
A Structural Change in the Country
For the creator of the channel Investidor Sardinha, the new model may represent a historic turning point in the relationship between the State and the taxpayer.
“Brazilians will perceive the real size of the tax burden, and for the first time, everyone will pay proportionally,” he observed.
Sena concluded that the system could strengthen the popular pressure for tax reduction, as the collection will finally be uniform.
“When everyone pays, society as a whole will want to discuss how much is paid. And this could change the country,” he stated.
Will Brazil finally move towards a fairer and more transparent tax system with the end of evasion?
