The Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB) has announced a new phase of the Consumption Tax Reform Pilot Project (RTC-CBS), which brings together companies and technology providers to test, validate, and enhance the systems that will support the future Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS).
Brinta has been officially selected to join the group of participants in the current phase, reinforcing its role as a reference in tax technology and automation in Brazil and across Latin America.
Brinta’s participation in the project is officially recorded in the Federal Government’s Official Gazette, as stated in the Adhesion Extract published by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service on October 3, 2025.
What is the Consumption Tax Reform Pilot Project (RTC-CBS)?
The Consumption Tax Reform Pilot Project (RTC-CBS) is an initiative of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB), in partnership with the Federal Data Processing Service (Serpro), established under RFB Ordinance No. 549/2025. Its purpose is to enable companies to contribute to the development and validation of technological solutions that will be used in the implementation of the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS) — the new tax that will replace PIS and COFINS.
It operates within a restricted production environment, where simulated tax operations are carried out without legal or registration effects. These tests are technical and collaborative in nature, designed to ensure that the CBS technological infrastructure functions in a secure, integrated, and efficient manner.
Objectives of the Pilot Project
The program aims to:
Test and validate the technological solutions required for the implementation of the CBS.
Improve the systems for calculating and controlling consumption-based taxes.
Promote tax standardization and simplification among companies and public institutions.
Ensure security, interoperability, and reliability in fiscal data management.
The pilot is expected to run until December 2026, with progressive expansion phases and new participants joining throughout the period.
The Importance of Brinta’s Participation
As a participant in the RTC-CBS Pilot, Brinta reaffirms its commitment to Brazil’s fiscal modernization and to the development of technologies that drive the digital transformation of tax compliance. Our platform is fully prepared to adapt to the upcoming CBS framework, integrating seamlessly with the new standards for tax issuance, calculation, and reporting.
With extensive experience in integration projects involving the Federal Revenue Service, State Treasury Departments, and tax administrations across Latin America, Brinta actively contributes to advancing the country’s digital fiscal infrastructure.
How Brinta Can Support Companies in the Transition to CBS
The transition to the new consumption-based tax model will require technological adaptations, tax parameterization, and process restructuring.
Brinta already offers solutions that enable companies to:
Centralize and automate tax calculation and determination in line with the new CBS framework.
Issue and receive electronic invoices aligned with CBS standards.
Integrate tax and accounting data in real time with corporate systems and regulatory bodies.
Ensure security, traceability, and tax compliance at every level of operation.
What are we going to follow?
The next stage of the program will include technical live sessions and guided tests led by the Federal Revenue Service, where participants will be able to validate the modules within the restricted environment and contribute to improvements. After this phase, the pilot environment will be expanded to include new groups of companies and technology providers.
Brinta will continue to closely monitor all project updates, sharing relevant information about the progress of the Consumption Tax Reform and its impacts on companies and developers.
