The event brings together experts this Thursday to clarify sensitive points of the text approved by the Senate and to guide companies and taxpayers on tax changes that come into effect with Bill 1087/2025.
Brasilia, November 26, 2025 — The Brazilian Association of Software Companies (ABES) will hold a webinar this Thursday, November 27, at 8:30 am, specifically aimed at companies, finance professionals, accountants, legal professionals, and taxpayers interested in understanding the changes brought about by Bill No. 1087/2025. The proposal alters the taxation of profits and dividends, establishes a minimum tax rate for high-income individuals, and includes provisions that have generated significant questions in the productive sector.
The goal of the meeting is to offer a clear, technical, and accessible overview of the new rules, highlighting the points that demand immediate attention—both from companies that accumulate and distribute profits and from taxpayers who may be subject to minimum taxation. ABES will bring together legal and tax experts to explain, in a practical way, how the new rules will be applied, which provisions may generate legal uncertainty or operational impacts, and what precautions companies should take during the transition period.
The webinar will feature Alexander Gustavo Lopes de França and Ricardo Oliveira Godoi, from the law firm R.Godoi Advogados, who will clarify legal aspects and technical interpretations of the bill; Henrique Premoli, consultant and accounting-tax auditor at H2K Auditores, who will address operational effects and compliance procedures; Jorge Sukarie, advisor to ABES, who will discuss impacts for technology companies and the business environment; and Dr. Manoel Santos, legal director of ABES, who will explain implications related to acquired rights, non-retroactivity, and potential risks of litigation.
The debate will also reference the manifesto recently published by ABES and entities in the productive sector, which analyzed inconsistencies in the text approved by the Senate. According to the document, although Bill 1087/2025 proposes taxing only profits generated from 2026 onwards, some conditions for maintaining the exemption of profits accumulated until 2025 are incompatible with corporate law and the legal deadlines for accounting closure. Among them is the requirement to approve the distribution of results by December 31, 2025, even if the balance sheet can only be finalized after the end of the fiscal year, as per Article 132 of the Corporations Law. The manifesto highlights that such conditions could lead to the unintentional application of retroactive taxation—a risk that will be detailed in the webinar.
“Our role as a sectorial entity is to ensure that any tax change preserves legal coherence and the operational capacity of companies. When the text of a law creates obligations that are impossible to fulfill, it ceases to offer security and begins to generate instability. The objective of Bill 1087/2025 is legitimate, but it needs to be technically feasible,” states Andriei Gutierrez, President of ABES.
By promoting this meeting, ABES reinforces its commitment to supporting companies and professionals in adapting to the new rules. “ABES believes in institutional dialogue as the way forward. This webinar is an opportunity to clarify critical points, align expectations, and contribute to ensuring that the presidential sanction reflects a balance between fiscal justice and legal certainty,” concludes Andriei.
