As razões tributárias e econômicas das inversões corporativas

Abstract

This paper aims at analyzing the tax and economic reasons related to corporate inversions by Brazilian multinational companies. Companies are entitled to legally organize themselves aiming at maximizing their efficiency and distributing the best results to its shareholders incurring in less costs as possible. Although taxes play an important role when deciding whether to invert or not, the “Cost of Brazil” are the most relevant driver for companies wishing to invert. In this context, inversions are a reality in Brazil taking into account the inversions of Ambev S.A., Magnesita S.A. and JBS S.A. The most efficient outcome in order to reduce the wave of inversions, would be to focus on the country’s economic growth instead of increasing the overall tax cost of inversions.
