Published on June 22, Law No. 14,375 improved the tax debt negotiation institute introduced by Law No. 13988/2020, including improvements and opportunities for taxpayers to settle federal tax debts. Here are the points worth mentioning:

• authorization for negotiation of debts with the Federal Tax Authorities (and not only overdue tax debits subject to tax foresclosure);
• raise in the discount limit (from 50% to 65% reduction in the original debt amount);
• increase in the payment term and installments from 84 to 120 months;
• possibility of using of special judicial order for debt reduction;
