Oil & Gas

Specialized tax consulting for offshore operations, REPETRO, import of critical equipment, and international financial flows in the sector.

INFIS operates at the intersection between the Brazilian tax system and offshore engineering operations. The tax structuring of FPSOs, subsea equipment, EPC contracts, chartering arrangements, and imports under special regimes requires technical analysis that goes beyond taxation, integrating customs regimes, sector regulation, and project logistics.

We serve operators, subsea suppliers, shipyards, manufacturers, and offshore service providers operating with high materiality, long cycles, and special regimes where every tax decision directly impacts competitiveness and operational predictability.

Methodological Differentiator

Taxation at the center. Foreign trade, special regimes, and operations at the same table.

The oil and gas industry cannot sustain siloed tax approaches. Taxation, customs regimes, EPC contracts, international logistics, and sector regulation overlap in nearly every project decision. INFIS’s methodology is built upon this overlap, not alongside it.

Tax analysis built on real operations

Tax assessment starts from the real operation: chartered FPSO, subsea package under REPETRO, EPC contract, or equipment nationalization. Tax, customs, and operational dimensions must move together, tracking each project stage.

REPETRO and special regimes as an integrated technical layer

Hands-on work with REPETRO-Sped, REPETRO-Industrialization, temporary admission, and drawback, covering the full lifecycle: classification, maintenance, audits, and closure. These regimes are treated as a core component of the project’s tax and operational structure.

Foreign trade as an extension of tax strategy

Import of critical equipment, tariff classification, valuation in intercompany transactions, and trade compliance are treated strategically, with customs analysis integrated into the tax design of operations rather than limited to clearance routines.

Tax Reform applied to the energy value chain

IBS, CBS, and the Selective Tax are analyzed based on real sector operations: long-term contracts, special regimes, offshore services, chartering, and international structures. The tax transition is translated into practical impacts and decision-ready criteria for executives.

Daily interaction with a regulated environment

ANP, Federal Revenue Service, Coana, Navy, and environmental agencies are considered from the design phase of operations. The tax structure is built into the project from the outset, aligned with regulatory requirements rather than as a reaction to audits.

Risk anticipation in high-materiality projects

Tax and customs risks are identified in EPC contracts, joint ventures, cross-border operations, and international structures during the structuring phase, when there is room for adjustment and mitigation before liabilities materialize.
