In 2015, the Supreme Federal Court declared corporate donations to political parties and campaigns to be unconstitutional. Before the decison, electoral laws allowed companies to donate up to 2% of their previous year’s gross revenue to candidates or party campaign funds, wich totaled over 76% ($760m) of the donations on the 2014 election. The decision came as a response for corruption scandals and illegal donations in the wake of the Operation Car Wash.

Since then, to cover the lack of private campaign finance, a public electoral fund was set up, to be divided among the parties based on their representation in the National Congress. Individuals can still make donations as a natural person, limited to 10% of their income in the previous year.
