Sefa seizes more than 380 units of telecommunications materials in Abel Figueiredo

Inspectors working in the Coordination of Goods in Transit Control of Carajás, from the State Department of Finance (Sefa), in the southeast of the State, seized 388 units of telecommunications materials on Wednesday (9). The cargo was valued at R$ 749,246.30.

The seizure took place at the Carne de Sol tax post in the municipality of Abel Figueiredo. “A vehicle transporting goods from João Pessoa, Paraíba, destined for several cities in Pará, including Almeirim, Juruti, São Félix do Xingu, and Altamira, was stopped. The inspection identified that, although the invoices indicated the nature of the operation as a shipment, for loan, no contract or documentation was presented to prove the maintenance of ownership of the goods by the sender. Furthermore, the supplementary information on the invoices indicates that the equipment will remain at the destination without any cost at the end of the contract, which characterizes, in practice, a definitive operation intended for the final consumer in another federative unit,” informed the coordinator of the tax unit, Cicinato Oliveira.

After document analysis and consultation with Sefa's systems, it was found that the taxpayer failed to correctly collect the ICMS related to the Differential Rate (Difal), resulting from the difference between internal and interstate rates.

The vehicle was transporting 388 units of telecommunications materials, such as panels, boards, and electrical cabinets, equipped for command and power distribution systems in building and industrial installations.

A Seizure and Deposit Term (TAD) was drawn up, amounting to R$ 83,438.08, including ICMS and fines.
