Petrobras’ live session held on January 22 addressed strategic issues related to Tax Reform, fiscal standardization, and financing mechanisms for the supplier chain, with emphasis on the operational and financial impacts expected from 2026 onward.
In the context of the Tax Reform, Petrobras highlighted challenges arising from the restructuring of service taxation, particularly regarding the Services Tax (ISS). The National Electronic Service Invoice (NFS-e) was presented as a key tool for standardization and transparency, along with a monitoring dashboard tracking municipal adherence to the national model. The session reinforced the importance of correctly issuing the NFS-e and clearly defining contractual clauses related to the economic unit and the municipality entitled to collect the ISS, in order to mitigate tax risks.
The discussion also covered Petrobras’ supplier financing initiatives. The Progredir Program focuses on contract advances, structured through banking lock mechanisms and based on supplier risk, and has already enabled financing exceeding BRL 4.5 billion, mainly via FMM/BNDES.
The Mais Valor Program provides invoice advance payments through a reverse factoring model, with lower risk, same-day settlement, and more competitive rates. Finally, Petrobras announced that the Mais Valor platform will be managed by G&PNet, with implementation expected in the first half of 2026.
