Does daylight saving change BRT to GST?
Brasilia Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC-3 offset holds every day of the year.
Gulf Standard Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+4 offset holds every day of the year.
Is BRT ahead of or behind GST?
BRT is behind GST by 7 hours: when it is 12:00 pm in Brasilia, it is 7:00 pm in Gulf. Neither Brasilia Time nor Gulf Standard Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
Brasilia Time covers Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, fixed since Brazil dropped summer time in 2019. Gulf Standard Time covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat. The identifiers behind them are America/Sao_Paulo and Asia/Dubai, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
