Key conclusions
The report concludes that Brazil should now fully implement an effective supervision
programme to ensure that the obligations for legal entities and arrangements to file
beneficial ownership information with the tax authority are complied with in practice.
On the international cooperation side, Brazil is a partner appreciated by its peers
but it has continued to experience delays responding to exchange of information requests,
due mainly to staffing issues at the tax authority that go beyond cooperation.
Brazil should take measures to ensure that all requests are responded to in a timely
manner.
