If you look at the tax code of the country of the size of Brazil: such as Russia, France, China, India - you will find that it has nuances, making such a tax code very unique and this is probably why in the above countries we find local accounting applications being very successful - these applications were developed mainly for the specific large country tax code, government tax reporting and other regulations.
