Chen Yang (a pseudonym) has been running a local store on Mercado Libre in Brazil for four months, with monthly sales consistently hovering around 250,000 reais.

Last week, his Brazilian accountant sent him the first-quarter tax return. It was three pages long, written in Portuguese, with densely packed forms and two rows of numbers showing two different results:

Simples Nacional (Simplified Tax System): Tax liability of 11,000 reais

Presumed Profit System (Lucro Presumido): Tax liability of 18,500 reais

For the same sales figure, the two calculation methods differed by 401 TP3T. Chen Yang’s first thought was—have I been overpaying my taxes all along?

The more he looked through the information online, the more confused he became. Some people said the simplified tax system was always the most cost-effective, others said that for high-gross-margin categories, the profit projection method should be chosen, and still others said they had tried both and eventually switched to a third approach.
