With the reintroduction of Hyper-Depreciation 4.0, provided for in the 2026 Budget Law, businesses once again benefit from a tax instrument dedicated to investments in advanced technologies for the digital transformation of production processes. The measure replaces the previous system of Transition 4.0 and 5.0 tax credits, reintroducing the mechanism of increasing the tax-depreciable cost of eligible assets. The objective is to incentivize the purchase of interconnected machinery, systems, and software, while fostering the competitiveness and innovation of the national production system. In an industrial context characterized by a growing focus on automation, digitalization, and process efficiency, the availability of tools that facilitate investment is of particular interest to companies. The new Hyper-Depreciation 4.0 fits precisely into this scenario, offering businesses a concrete opportunity to accelerate their technological modernization projects and strengthen their market competitiveness.

Hyper-depreciation 4.0 is based on increasing the taxable value of eligible assets. In short, the company can benefit from a tax deduction higher than the actual cost incurred to purchase the asset, resulting in tax savings over the years.
The measure is intended for investments in machinery, systems, and technological solutions that meet the requirements of the Industry 4.0 legislation, with particular attention to interconnection and integration with company systems.
The most interesting aspect of Hyper-Depreciation 4.0 is its direct economic impact on investments.
In a favorable scenario, the tax benefit resulting from the new Hyper-Depreciation 4.0 can reach 43.2% of the investment value, helping to significantly reduce the actual cost incurred by the company for the purchase of innovative technologies and systems.
This means that purchasing machinery or equipment that complies with Industry 4.0 requirements can be significantly more cost-effective than a traditional investment, improving the operation's economic return and reducing the time required to recover the invested capital.
In a context where automation, digitalization, and process control are increasingly crucial to competitiveness, the incentive represents a concrete tool for accelerating the innovation process and increasing production efficiency.
The impact of this benefit isn't limited to simple tax savings. The ability to invest in more advanced technologies can translate into greater process reliability, a reduction in manual tasks, improved production control, and greater availability of data for monitoring company performance.
In many cases, incentives can become a determining factor in the economic evaluation of a project, allowing companies to anticipate investments that would otherwise be planned over a longer period of time. This can help accelerate growth and maintain a high level of competitiveness in increasingly dynamic and technologically advanced markets.
