Will the Tax Reform Raise Taxes? Myth or Fact — Analysis by Profile
Analysis of myths and facts about the Tax Reform and its impact on taxes, with a reading by company and consumer profile.
Executive Summary
The right question is not whether the reform will raise taxes for everyone. The right question is: for whom, in which operation and with which structure? The real effect varies according to supply chain, margin, credit and contract.
The Myth of “It Will Go Up for Everyone”
This is the most common mistake. The reform was designed to reorganize consumption taxation, not to produce the same result in every company.
In practice:
- some sectors may gain efficiency through credit;
- others may feel greater pressure if they have little creditable expense;
- in many cases the tax burden neither rises nor falls in a simple way, it just moves elsewhere.
Where Increases May Occur
The scenarios of greater pressure usually appear when a company:
- has little possibility of taking credit;
- works with an already compressed margin;
- provides labor-intensive services;
- keeps an old contract with no revision clause.
Where Relief May Occur
Relief scenarios usually appear when a company:
- operates with a significant input supply chain;
- is able to make better use of credit;
- reviews pricing and processes before the transition tightens;
- has well-configured operations.
What Matters More than the Rate
To measure the real impact, a company needs to look at:
- margin;
- credit;
- cash flow;
- contract;
- operational capacity to adapt.
Without that, the discussion turns into a slogan.
Conclusion
The Tax Reform is not, by definition, a universal increase or reduction in taxes. It is a redistribution of the tax burden with different effects by profile. The company that runs simulations early decides better.
