• The Senate approved the bill on Tuesday, following a previous greenlight from the lower house; the text now heads to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for ratification • The bill exempts key federal taxes - PIS, Cofins, IPI, and import duties - on IT-related capital expenditures for the sector, such as on servers and refrigeration • The government issued an executive order on the matter in 2025, but the proposal expired this year after it was not voted on by Congress • The text approved on Tuesday is a similar bill, proposed this year by the then government leader in the lower house Jose Guimaraes, now the minister for institutional relations
