IRAE or IMEBA? Some points to keep in mind

.

.

Producers who can choose between IMEBA and IRAE must take into account the following:

.

• IRAE taxpayers can apply the benefits to investments every time they make purchases and investments in your company.

.

• The farms that have relatively large profit margins reduce their tax burden by opting to liquidate IMEBA, since the IRAE is settled on the margins obtained.

.

• For the purposes of liquidating the IRAE, an administrative structure must be in place that allows the proper recording of sales operations, keeping sufficient accounting and properly documenting expenses. As the IMEBA is applied directly on the amount of the invoice issued, it is not necessary to have administrative and registration support.

.

• IRAE taxpayers can recover the VAT on purchases they paid when acquiring inputs and materials for production. In the case of having opted for IMEBA, VAT cannot be recovered, becoming a cost.

.

• Finally, it is necessary to highlight that when opting for IRAE, it must continue to be settled for 3 years, including the option.
