Distrito Federal fiscal operation targets R$77 million in tax evasion

The Federal District Revenue Service and the Secretariat of Economy conducted a fiscal operation between September 25 and October 7 to combat tax evasion in the capital. The offensive resulted in the seizure of products valued at approximately R$77 million and the establishment of R$16 million in tax credits, including unpaid taxes and penalties.

Authorities dismantled a structured fraud scheme within the freight and cargo transport sector. Inspectors issued citations to 13 transport companies located in Acre, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Tocantins for operating in the Federal District without paying the required ICMS on freight services.

During inspections and data cross-referencing, officials seized various goods accompanied by invalid invoices, including 125,000 cans of beer, 18,500 kilograms of cosmetics and soaps, and over 70 tons of agricultural products.
