In Brazil, tipping is only common on restaurant bills and it is very uncommon for other services. I have never seen anyone tip a taxi.

  I'm native from Rio Grande do Sul. I often tipped taxis (usually by "rounding up" the value to make change easier too) and I don't think I've ever tipped at a restaurant. Might depend on the region, but I was under the impression that this was pretty universal.

    What you and the parent say are not inconsistent. You tip taxis by "rounding up", but the parent says he never tips. By American standards, rounding up (i.e., up to 50 cents) is not tipping. Taxi drivers in the U.S. and Canada expect 10-15%, or even more in New York City, though their expectations have probably gone down since Uber arrived. The parent say "tipping is only common on restaurant bills". I'm pretty sure that the parent is referring to the 10% service fee, which is always optional, but that everyone pays unless the service was really bad[1]. You don't call that tipping but since it's optional, it's very similar to a tip.
