Government includes selective tax on alcohol and cigarettes in 2027

Pt Noticias1 September 2026 at 01:33

The federal government included a selective tax in the 2027 budget as part of its fiscal strategy. The measure's main objective is to increase federal revenue in the coming years.

The expectation is that taxation on these products will generate revenue of R$ 41.9 billion. This value represents a significant source of resources for the government coffers.

The products that will be affected by the selective tax include alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and cigarettes. These categories were chosen because they are considered harmful to public health.

The inclusion of the selective tax in the 2027 budget is part of a broader tax reform movement that the government has been implementing, targeting both revenue generation and discouragement of the consumption of harmful products.
