Our experts will talk about the legal implications, entrepreneurial expectations, potential for economic growth, and attraction of investments. We'll cover topics like the challenges of implementing the VAT, how the international experience can guide Brazil’s approach and expectations for the regulatory framework to be presented by the government. The panel will also address controversies around the reform and how it might affect tax disputes in Brazil.
