I need the Brazil answer beyond one headline percentage. Please explain how IRPJ and CSLL sit together, why lucro real and lucro presumido change the practical burden, and why a foreign founder should not confuse an incorporated Brazilian company with a branch-like presence when pricing the tax cost.

What are the current Brazil income tax bands, and who actually has to file in 2026?

I need the current Brazil answer, not an old table copied around the internet. Please explain the top 27.5% rate, the current monthly band structure, and the 2026 declaration triggers so I can separate withholding from the annual filing obligation.
