Drawback Calculator

The TRADEXA drawback calculator lets you simulate tax recovery on exports. The drawback regime suspends or exempts federal taxes (II, IPI, PIS, and COFINS) on imported inputs used to manufacture exported products. There are three main modalities: exemption drawback (to replenish stock of previously imported inputs), suspension drawback (for inputs yet to be imported and processed), and refund drawback (for taxes already paid). This tool automatically calculates how much your company can save per transaction, comparing costs with and without the tax benefit. The calculation considers the value of imported inputs, the exported share of production, and current rates for II (Import Duty ~12%), IPI (Excise Tax ~5%), PIS (Social Integration Program ~2.1%), and COFINS (Social Security Financing Contribution ~9.65%). Ideal for exporting manufacturers looking to boost international competitiveness by cutting the tax burden on imported inputs. The regime is regulated by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service and requires proof of export within 1 year for suspension and 2 years for exemption.
