Decisions made at formation stay with the company for years: legal form, activity codes, share capital and tax regime. At Absoluta, formation starts with a tax simulation across Brazil's three regimes — Simples Nacional, Lucro Presumido and Lucro Real — using your projected revenue, margin and payroll, and already accounting for the tax reform transition (IBS and CBS).
Then we handle the whole path: articles of association, registration, CNPJ, tax registrations, digital certificate and licenses. When the CNPJ goes live, accounting is ready for the first month of operation.
Frequently asked questions
Which tax regime is best for my company?
It depends on the activity, the margin and the weight of payroll. That is why we simulate all three regimes with your numbers before deciding — and review the choice every year.
Can a foreigner open a company in Brazil?
Yes. A non-resident partner needs a Brazilian tax ID (CNPJ or CPF) and an attorney-in-fact resident in Brazil. See our International Accounting page.
