Brazil\u2019s finance ministry has moved to simplify crypto taxes, swapping a tiered system for a single flat rate. On June\u202f12, Provisional Measure\u202f1303 took effect, scrapping the old break that let residents sell up to R$35,000 (about $6,300) in crypto each month tax\u2011free. Now, every capital gain from digital assets faces a 17.5% levy.<\/p>\n

Flat Tax Applies To All Investors<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to local reports, the new rule <\/a>ends the exemption and treats all traders the same. Small\u2011scale sellers who once paid nothing now owe 17.5% on every gain. Big players could actually save money. Before, anyone moving more than R$30\u202fmillion in a month hit a 22.5% top rate. Now they pay just 17.5%.<\/p>\n

Small Traders Face Bigger Bills<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Based on reports<\/a> from Portal do Bitcoin, someone who sold R$30,000 in crypto last month would have owed zero under the old law. Under the new flat rate, that person now owes R$5,250. That\u2019s a steep rise for casual users and hobbyists.<\/p>\n

At the same time, a trader handling R$10\u202fmillion in a single deal would drop from roughly R$1.75\u202fmillion in tax under the old system to R$1.75\u202fmillion now, so no change. But those above R$30\u202fmillion save up to R$150,000 per R$1\u202fmillion traded.<\/p>\n

Quarterly Reporting And Losses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crypto<\/a> holdings held in self\u2011custody wallets or abroad did not escape this overhaul. All gains are tallied every three months. Investors can offset losses from the previous five quarters.<\/p>\n

After 2025, that window shrinks. From January\u202f2026 onward, only losses within the last few quarters will count. Traders will need better record\u2011keeping and careful timing.<\/p>\n


\nOther Assets And Betting Targeted<\/strong><\/p>\n

This measure isn\u2019t limited to crypto. Fixed\u2011income papers like LCAs, LCIs, CRIs and CRAs now carry a 5% profit tax. Betting operators saw their rate jump from 12% to 18%. The ministry won\u2019t say how much extra cash it expects.<\/p>\n

But lawmakers want a steadier flow after a failed attempt to raise the Financial Transaction Tax, which was pulled amid strong market and congressional pushback.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in parallel, a separate bill would let employers pay part of a salary in crypto, capped at 50%. Full crypto pay would only be allowed for foreign staff or contractors under strict rules.<\/p>\n

Wages for standard workers must stay in fiat. Contractors could opt for 100% crypto if both sides agree. All payouts would use official exchange rates set by Central Bank\u2011approved platforms.<\/p>\n
