Brazil: Zero IOF on foreign exchange inflows for fixed income securities
the Brazilian Government published, on 5 June 2013, Decree 8.023/13, which reduces the IOF (Imposto Sobre Operações Financeiras - Financial Operation Tax) on foreign exchange inflows for fixed income securities (government and corporate bonds) from 6% to 0%.
As a consequence, all foreign exchanges booked from 5 June 2013 onwards for purchases of fixed income securities in the Brazilian market are subject to 0% IOF.
Customers are reminded that there is no IOF on foreign exchange inflows for variable securities, such as equities. Please refer to our Announcement L12001, dated 4 May 2012.
No tax will be applicable where funds from investments in fixed income securities are used to purchase equities, and vice versa.
