Flamengo plan R$ 16m cut in 2026 after federal tax decision | OneFootball

Flamengo are monitoring federal tax reform plans and are preparing a R$ 16 million cut in 2026 to align with the new regime.

UOL reports that the club will have to pay roughly R$ 700 million in taxes over as many as eight years, starting with R$ 19 million in 2026 and reaching R$ 214 million in 2033. By the eighth year, total payments would hit R$ 746 million.

While SAF structures would carry lower costs, Flamengo’s study indicates non-associative clubs would pay R$ 434 million less, leaving the club at a disadvantage.

As a result, Flamengo plan to trim loss-making areas across a season. Olympic sports currently have a deficit of almost R$ 50 million, so that department could be affected.

President Bap said he was convinced the legal framework was not conceived to create inequality between member associations and SAFs. He added that a presidential veto had produced an unintended effect, putting associations at a tax disadvantage and inverting the system, since non-profit entities should not be taxed more than profit-driven structures, he told FlamengoTV.

On the pitch, attention turns to Internacional on Wednesday (04) at 19:00, Brasília time, at the Maracanã.
