Brazil’s tax department has defined Ireland as a “fiscal paradise,” a term used to refer to a tax haven. The categorization means that Brazilian companies with business contracts in Ireland will now be subject to a 25 percent Brazilian tax, instead of the standard rate of 15 percent.

The decision to declare Ireland as a fiscal paradise started on October 1st. The tax authorities also added Austria, Curacao, and Saint Martin to its list of tax havens.
