Sefa also seized machinery and a tractor in Gurupi for tax irregularity
Inspection carried out by the team of state revenue inspectors from the Coordination of Goods in Transit Control of Araguaia, from the Secretary of Finance of Pará (Sefa), in southeastern Pará, seized 120,048 long neck beer bottles of 210ml, valued at R$ 756,052.60. The seizure occurred on Wednesday (29), the cargo left Rio de Janeiro (RJ) destined for Belém, and was seized at Km 15 of the PA-447 highway, km 15, in Conceição do Araguaia.
“The driver of a rodotrem truck presented a tax document regarding the beer. The inspectors consulted the electronic invoice system and saw that the sender did not highlight and did not collect the ICMS Tax Substitution that is due to the State of Pará,” explained coordinator Renato Couto.
In addition to the lack of advance tax collection, it was also verified that the company receiving the goods was not located at the address provided in the state registration with Sefa. “Based on this information, the Regional Coordination of Belém suspended the company's registration,” reported the state revenue inspector.
A Seizure and Deposit Term (TAD) was drawn up, in the amount of R$ 352,580.98 regarding tax and fine.
Gurupi – In the Goods in Transit Control Coordination of Gurupi, in Cachoeira do Piriá, northeastern Pará, a plow and a used tractor were also seized on Wednesday (29), valued at R$ 45,000.00.
“The vehicle passed directly through the tax post carrying the equipment, requiring the Sefa vehicle to chase it down to intercept and bring it back to start the inspection,” said coordinator Gustavo Bozola.
The driver presented two invoices. In the analysis, it was observed that the invoice for the plow had been issued on 08/09/2025 and the footer had the printing date of 09/08/2025, a discrepancy that raised suspicions.
“After consulting the electronic tax documents system, it was identified that the access key of the invoice referred to another product (tires) and not to what was actually transported, constituting a tax violation,” said the state revenue inspector.
The driver informed that he received the equipment in Anapu-PA and was going to deliver it in Junco do Maranhão-MA. The presented invoice was disregarded by the inspection, the equipment was retained, and two Seizure and Deposit Terms (TADs) were drawn up totaling R$ 14,521.30, regarding the ICMS and fine.
