In response to -

Roberto - Try this news site: http://www.brazilink.org/politics.asp

Gene - Alan Foum created this site that provides a directory and links to several sites on the oil & gas industry, many of these with country-specific info.

I am composing an Energy Outlook report for Brazil for the next 10 years. I have already gathered data from the US Dept of Energy (EIA)and have tried to gather information from the Ministry of Energy and Mines in Brazil - their website publications are all in Portuguese, which is difficult, but doable.

Does anyone have more information sources to recommend for anything related to the energy sector in Brazil, especially consumption by sectors and upcoming public policies related to Energy?
Thanks!

In response to Albert P Revilles -- one of the best sources of the kind of detailed information you're looking for, would be http://www.worldbank.org/, where you could do a search for "VAT+Brazil". You could also try to contact The World Bank people; they're generally very helpful.
