3月20日，巴西总统卢拉正式签署法案，扩大对本国化工及石化生产商的税收减免政策，将关键生产原料的税负削减超六成，以应对中东冲突引发的原料成本上涨压力。

On March 20, Brazilian President Lula officially signed a bill to expand tax relief policies for domestic chemical and petrochemical producers, reducing the tax burden on key production raw materials by more than 60%, in response to the pressure of rising raw material costs triggered by the Middle East conflict.

该法案于3月20日在官方公报发布，对化工行业专项税收优惠制度(REIQ)进行扩容，符合条件的原材料相关社保与工业产品税抵扣比例从0.73%提升至5.8%。2026年该政策的财政预算将从11亿雷亚尔增至31亿雷亚尔;2026至2031年，化工专项税收优惠与配套投资激励计划合计优惠规模将达180亿雷亚尔。

The bill was published in the Official Gazette on March 20, expanding the Special Taxation Regime for the Chemical Industry (REIQ). The deduction rate for social security and industrial product taxes related to eligible raw materials increased from 0.73% to 5.8%. The fiscal budget for this policy will rise from BRL 1.1 billion in 2026 to BRL 3.1 billion. From 2026 to 2031, the combined benefits of the chemical industry's special tax incentives and the associated investment incentive program will total BRL 18 billion.

巴西副总统兼发展部长阿尔克明在圣保罗签署仪式上表示，此次政策出台时机经过审慎考量。他指出，受地区冲突影响，天然气及化工原料价格持续攀升，联邦政府此时下调化工原料税负旨在提升行业竞争力，吸引投资与创新合作，推动能源效率升级。

Brazil's Vice President and Minister of Development, Geraldo Alckmin, stated at the signing ceremony in São Paulo that the timing of this policy implementation was carefully considered. He pointed out that due to regional conflicts, the prices of natural gas and chemical raw materials have continued to rise. The federal government's decision to reduce the tax burden on chemical raw materials at this time aims to enhance the competitiveness of the industry, attract investment and innovation cooperation, and promote energy efficiency upgrades.

Villanueva称，此次签署的法案是支持化工企业的历史性举措，但核心仍在于后续落地。他表示，该项税收优惠能减轻基础化工与石化原料税负，提振本土生产、盘活闲置产能、稳定就业，强化巴西在全球产业链中的地位，尤其在当前地缘紧张、经济不确定、供应链承压、能源与原料市场波动的背景下意义重大。

stated that the bill signed this time is a historic initiative in support of chemical enterprises, but the key lies in its subsequent implementation. He noted that the tax incentives can reduce the tax burden on basic chemicals and petrochemical raw materials, boost local production, reactivate idle capacity, stabilize employment, and strengthen Brazil's position in the global industrial chain—particularly significant in the current context of geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, supply chain pressures, and fluctuations in energy and raw material markets.
