Brazil reporting cycles and business-day rules
Brazilian business-day cycles align with Receita Federal DARF monthly deadlines (last business day of the following month) and SPED Fiscal/Contribuições/EFD-Reinf monthly submissions. The Banco Central do Brasil operates SPB and STR as the wholesale RTGS systems on bank business days. CLT (Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho) governs employment cycles including 13th-month salary (first instalment by November 30, second by December 20), férias (annual leave) accrual, and FGTS (Fundo de Garantia) contributions due monthly on the 7th. Carnival Monday and Tuesday, plus Corpus Christi, are facultative federal holidays observed nationwide in practice.
