São Paulo clocks, offsets and daylight saving
If you need the offset: São Paulo is on -03, 3 hours behind UTC, i.e. UTC-03:00. The matching IANA zone is America/Sao_Paulo.
There is no daylight saving in São Paulo. UTC-03:00 applies all year, so the offset never moves on this side — only the other party's clock changes.
Brazil is not on a single clock: the 235 cities listed here fall across 15 time zones, so times elsewhere in the country will not match São Paulo.
