Tax burden analysis, tax planning, credit recovery and litigation — to optimize resources with legal certainty.
Brazil's high tax burden is a reality faced by companies nationwide. In many cases, the taxes charged aren't actually owed, or are charged above the correct amount — and legal tools exist to safeguard these rights.
When the taxable event doesn't fully match the applicable legislation, it's possible to challenge undue or excessive charges and seek reimbursement or offsetting of taxes already paid. Reis Simas & Heidrich's role is to examine each specific situation in light of the applicable law and present the taxpayer with secure options.
By comparing the company's tax burden against current legislation and the Constitution, we identify every lawful way to reduce it — through tax planning and credit recovery. The firm operates at every level, including customs matters, both administratively and judicially.
