Applied PADIS

Turn the fiscal incentive into operational margin

PADIS can reduce the tax burden and generate a relevant credit, but it only becomes value when the industrial operation meets criteria, evidence and an R&D routine.

Meridian verifies eligibility, runs qualification, implements controls and organizes the annual cycle of documentation, calculation, RDA and audit.

Economic prize

The incentive shows up in the income statement

The buyer needs to see the economic effect before discussing process. In a reference operation, PADIS changes net margin and reinvestment capacity.

Economic reference used in PADIS materials, subject to the assumptions of product, process, revenue, R&D, available federal taxes and quality of evidence.

Two situations

PADIS Brazil and PADIS for a foreign manufacturer

The PADIS line is pure: it handles the incentive. When the decision is to build the factory with Meridian, the correct route is Implanta.

Brazil

Company that already manufactures in Brazil

  • verifies eligibility and the size of the prize;
  • decides qualification based on margin and risk;
  • implements an R&D, evidence, RDA and audit routine;
  • corrects gaps in already-qualified companies.
Foreign

Manufacturer that will have its own plant in Brazil

  • the client brings technology, product and industrial operation;
  • Meridian structures PADIS and the capture of the incentive;
  • the factory remains the client's responsibility;
  • if a factory run by Meridian is needed, that goes under Implanta.
What you contract

Two ways to contract PADIS

A complete implementation run by Meridian, or a specific service for the stage the company is in. The choice depends on the objective, size and maturity of the operation.

One-off service

Stage-based services

A specific service for the stage you are in: fixed scope, verifiable deliverable, independent contracting.

How it works

The benefit, in four measures

Generated credit, usable credit and balance are different accounts. The work exists to capture value with traceability.

Direct benefits

Zero rate of II, IPI, PIS/Cofins, IRPJ/CSLL and CIDE under the conditions provided for the incentivized operation.

Cost reduction
R&D obligation

Minimum investment of 5% of the counterpart revenue, with at least 1% through an accredited ICT.

Counterpart
Generated credit

Eligible R&D multiplied by 2.62, capped at 13.1% of the incentivized gross revenue.

Potential
Usable credit

Limited to the federal taxes paid in the period; the surplus remains as a balance, valid for five years from certification.

Realized cash

Eligibility, classification and credit capture are confirmed case by case. The real benefit depends on product, process, NCM, qualification and quality of evidence.
