Brasscom aims to establish a competitive, fair, and ethical environment for the ITBPO sector. It works together with other associations, unions, and governmental institutions to propose bills of law that will benefit the sector, and to get these bills passed into law.

Law number 11,774, of September 17, 2008 reduced social security contributions on company payrolls by 50% (from 20% to 10%).

Law number 11,908, of March 3, 2009 allows information technology and communications companies to make tax deductions of 200% of the amount they spend on training their employees working in software development, when the ‘actual profit’ tax calculation system is employed.

Brasscom is monitoring the bill of law that deals with outsourcing services. It is also working to improve the legal framework for intellectual property, digital convergence, data security and privacy, and tackling software piracy.

The association is working on a standard to be used when IT-BPO professionals are hired, based on current legislative principles (Consolidation of Labor Laws), allowing selfregulation of work on the IT-BPO market.
