Sefa seizes energy distribution panels and R$ 243.5 thousand in alcoholic beverages
Valued at over R$ 800 thousand, the panels were retained to collect the ICMS difference. As for the beverages, a simulated transit operation was detected.
State tax inspectors from the Secretary of Finance of Pará (Sefa) seized, on 10/20, a load of alcoholic beverages, consisting of 1,000 boxes of distilled drinks with fruit juice, 600 boxes of wine, 200 of whiskey, and 20 of aperitif, valued at R$ 243,500.00. A Seizure and Deposit Term (TAD) was issued for R$ 213,303.08, charging ICMS and fines. The officials are assigned to the Coordination of Control of Goods in Transit of Carajás, in the southeast of the State.
"The seizure occurred at the Carne de Sol tax post on the BR-222 highway, in the municipality of Abel Figueiredo, when a truck transporting goods from the municipality of Imperatriz/MA was stopped, with a declared destination, in the invoice, to the State of Amazonas. The load consisted of various alcoholic beverages. After document analysis and consultations with Sefa's systems, it was found that the issuing company improperly used the tax document to simulate a transit operation, but in fact, the goods were to remain in Pará territory, characterizing fraudulent internalization of hot drinks," said the unit coordinator, Cicinato Oliveira.
The irregularity was identified from alerts generated by the Active Monitoring of Taxpayers (MAC), a tool from the Central Monitoring and Transit Operations (Cemotran) of Sefa, operated by the State Operations Center of Pará (COE-PA), which acts in communication and integration between the Federal Revenue Departments.
Gurupi – At the Coordination of Control of Goods in Transit in Gurupi, in Cachoeira do Piriá, northeastern Pará, 30 energy distribution panels intended for a final consumer not contributing to the ICMS were also seized on the same day, valued at R$ 868,480.31.
"A truck transporting goods originating from Rio de Janeiro-RJ and destined for Belém-PA raised suspicion from the inspection due to its passage through Gurupi. Upon analyzing the documents, it was verified that the amount of the ICMS Differential Rate (Difal) was underpaid," said coordinator Gustavo Bozola.
The goods were retained, and the ICMS difference for the non-contributing final consumer was charged through a Seizure and Deposit Term (TAD) totaling R$ 102,498.05, which was paid, and the goods were released.
