Sefa seizes tricycles and fuel transported without tax documentation

The State Department of Finance (Sefa) carried out two seizures of goods transported in violation of tax legislation on September 6 and 7, in Cachoeira do Piriá, in the Rio Caeté Integration Region, and in Novo Progresso, in the Tapajós Integration Region. The actions resulted in the retention of four tricycles and over 11 thousand liters of aviation fuel, in addition to the issuance of Seizure and Deposit Terms (TADs) totaling over R$ 56 thousand in taxes and fines.

At the Coordination of Goods in Transit Control of Gurupi, located in Cachoeira do Piriá, state revenue inspectors detained a truck transporting five tricycles. The invoice presented by the transporter indicated only one unit, and after a physical check, four vehicles without tax documentation were identified, valued at R$ 144 thousand.

“A truck coming from Manaus (AM), destined for São João do Belmonte (PE), was detained by the inspection. After analyzing the documentation, the officials suspected the content and conducted a physical check, finding four tricycles without an invoice,” explained the coordinator of the tax unit, Gustavo Bozola.

In light of the irregularity, a TAD was issued in the amount of R$ 31,104.00, referring to tax and fine.

Aviation fuel seized in southwestern Pará

The next day, Sefa inspectors at the Serra do Cachimbo unit in Novo Progresso seized a tanker truck transporting 11,148 liters of aviation kerosene, valued at R$ 73,396.20. The vehicle had left Foz do Iguaçu (PR) destined for Belém (PA).

“The seizure occurred because the invoice presented referred to a fuel shipment operation, but the recipient did not have a State Registration for Tax Substitution (IE-ST), which contradicts tax legislation for this type of operation,” highlighted the revenue inspector and coordinator of the tax unit, Maycon Freitas.

As a result of the infraction, a TAD was issued in the amount of R$ 25,101.50, also referring to tax and fine.
