The Chamber of Deputies approved this Tuesday (10) the urgency procedure for the 278 / 26 Bill, which establishes Redata (Special Tax Regime for Data Center Services) – a national incentive plan aimed at strengthening the data center sector in Brazil.
With the approval of the urgency, the text can be analyzed directly in plenary, without needing to go through the House committees, which speeds up its processing. The bill is authored by Representative José Guimarães (PT-CE) and replaces a Provisional Measure initially planned by the Executive branch.
Redata is a special tax regime that aims to offer tax incentives to companies that invest in the installation and expansion of data centers in the country. The proposal seeks to reduce the tax burden on equipment, technological infrastructure, and services essential to the operation of these ventures.
The central idea is to make Brazil more competitive in attracting investments in digital infrastructure, at a time of strong growth in demand for data processing, driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services.
In addition to stimulating new investments, the regime can also have a direct impact on the electricity sector, since data centers are among the largest energy consumers and tend to increase the demand for stable supply and, increasingly, for renewable sources.
