Brazil’s Ministry of Finance’s Provisional Measure No. 1303 is finally changing the tax treatment of cryptocurrency gains. As of approximately mid-June 2025, all resident investors will pay a flat 17.5% income tax on crypto profits (i.e. regardless of the trading volumes), and this will more formally terminate an eternity of exemption and an extended attempt to find increased fiscal surveillance and collection of revenue.

Why the Change Matters

Previously, individual crypto investors benefited from significant relief:

  • R$35,000 monthly gain was exempt from taxes.
  • Gains above that threshold faced a tiered rate: 15% for moderate profit, rising to 22.5% at the highest tiers.

Under the new framework, these exemptions vanish. All crypto gains—whether small or large—are taxed uniformly at 17.5%. The aim: simplify compliance and reduce loopholes.

Impact on Investors

This measure redistributes tax burdens between segments of investors:

  1. Small traders: Many of Brazil’s retail investors, who were earning tax-free money on small gains, are now going to pay tax regularly, which will likely create an incentive for those investors to keep track of their activities and likely will discourage more casual trading.
  2. High-net-worth investors: Previously, high-net-worth investors paid up to 22.5% on large gains, so it is a simple knew benefit for them. The result is that tax reporting is much simpler, and potentially tax savings.

Also of note, the measure includes self-custodied wallets and offshore holdings to try and close a gap to prevent offshore tax avoidance.

Part of a Wider Fiscal Initiative

This measure on crypto is only a part of a wider package of fiscal reforms to produce about R$40 billion (~US$7.2 billion) annually. Other important changes involve:

  • Fixed-income vehicles (LCI/LCA, CRI) will be taxed 5% from 2026 onwards, completely removing their exemptions.
  • Online betting platforms face an increased revenue tax: from 12% to 18%.
  • Interest on equity (JCP) payouts taxed at 20%, up from 15%.

These moves are designed to offset the scaling back of financial transaction (IOF) tax hikes that faced heavy opposition.

How the Rules Will Be Implemented

The provisional measure takes immediate effect, but must be approved by Congress within 120 days to remain valid. The tax on crypto gains will be calculated quarterly, and investors can offset losses against future profits over a rolling five-quarter period.
The Finance Ministry hopes that clarity and consistency in tax rules—including covering offshore holdings—will boost compliance and revenue.

What Crypto Investors Need to Know

  • Keep detailed records: Accurate tracking of trades, costs, and yields is vital to correctly calculate quarterly taxes.
  • Prepare for quarterly filing: Small investors will now file even modest gains—previously non-taxable.
  • Consider tax planning strategies: High-volume traders may find relief under the new flat rate, especially those who previously paid up to 22%.

Final Perspective

Brazil’s shift to a flat 17.5% crypto tax marks a departure from a fragmented, exemption-heavy system to one that prioritizes simplicity and enforcement. Casual traders lose their tax-free buffer, while top-tier investors gain predictability and potential savings. As part of a broader effort to boost revenue without broad-based tax hikes, this reform reflects Finance Minister Haddad and President Lula’s approach to fiscal balance. With parliamentary review ahead, all eyes will be on how effectively the change is implemented and received.
