No current video-game tax-cut revocation by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is established in the official records reviewed as of October 8, 2026. The clearest game-related measure is from 2024: Lula vetoed a proposed tax incentive before it took effect. That was not the withdrawal of an existing tax cut.
What happened in 2024?
Brazil’s Law 14,852, signed on May 3, 2024, and published on May 6, created a legal framework for the electronic-games industry. The law was published with a partial veto. The Presidency’s official law record identifies the law and its veto metadata.
The veto concerned a proposed benefit—not a tax cut already in force. The provision would have reduced income tax by 70% on qualifying remittances abroad from exploitation or licensing of games, conditional on investment in independent Brazilian game projects. Lula partially vetoed it. The National Congress’s Veto 10/2024 record displays its status as “Não Apreciado” (“Not considered”). That is the status shown in the record; it does not establish what may have happened outside it.
Does that mean existing game or console tax cuts are being canceled?
No. A vetoed proposed income-tax incentive for qualifying remittances is distinct from an existing product tax rate, such as a rate that may apply to games or consoles sold in Brazil. The 2024 provision concerned game exploitation or licensing and investment in independent Brazilian projects; it did not, on the evidence available, announce a change to consumer taxes on consoles, accessories, or games.

Receita Federal lists technical notes titled “Redução Alíquota dos Jogos Eletrônicos” and “Redução Alíquota do Xarope e dos Jogos Eletrônicos.” Those listings show that rate-reduction materials exist, but do not establish the current applicable rates or whether a particular rate remains in force. See Nota Cetad/Coest 125/2021 and Nota Cetad/Coest 098/2021. The listings alone are not enough to quote a current percentage.
Do later federal tax-benefit laws target video games?
The later laws identified in the official records concern broader federal tax-benefit rules, not a stated video-game-specific revocation:
Rank #2
- 6.2” LCD screen
- Three play modes: TV, tabletop, and handheld
- Local co-op, online, and local wireless multiplayer
- Detachable Joy-Con controllers
- Nintendo Switch is the home of Mario & friends
- Complementary Law 224/2025: enacted December 26, 2025, it addresses reductions and criteria for federal tax, financial, and credit benefits. Its general scope does not establish that a particular gaming measure was affected. Read the official text.
- Complementary Law 237/2026: enacted September 15, 2026, it creates or amends specified exceptions to fiscal rules for 2026. The retrieved text does not identify a game-specific tax revocation. Read the Federal Senate publication.
What would confirm a new revocation?
A substantiated claim should identify the specific tax benefit and the affected activity or products, then point to a current official instrument—such as a bill, decree, law, or applicable regulation—or an attributable government statement. Without those details, “Lula may revoke video game tax cuts” should be treated as an unconfirmed headline, not a report of an established policy change.
