Revenue data show that in 2012 there were 14.4 million international postal items, which may or may not correspond to order products
The IRS confirmed that develops a computerized system with the Brazilian Post (ECT) to close the enclosure to irregular imports of products through the internet. The system will collect data of post and then turn them into information that will allow the Revenue strategize surveillance.
“This computerized system is needed to tackle the evolution [of irregular imports]. Pick up and process the data using intelligence and risk management system applied in all processes of Revenue. The information basis of Posts is still not very collaborative: we need features like scanner etc, “said Ernani Argolo Checcucci Son, Undersecretary of Customs and International Relations of Revenue. He also said that there will be no change in legislation.
The phenomenon of increased e-commerce is global and not typically Brazilian. The digital inclusion is increasingly allowed to use services worldwide. The facilities increase with the advancement of technology. Revenue data show that in 2012 there were 14.4 million international postal items, which may or may not correspond to order products. The following year, remittances went to 20.8 million, ie an increase of approximately 44%.
“The project is under development depends Serpro [Federal Data Processing Service] and Post Office:. Prediction is to be completed by the end of the year The World Customs Organization already has for years partnered with UPU [Union. Universal Postal]. We look up to the successful experience that was there”, he said.
The new system will also enable the citizen to buy a product, can make autoregularização and pay taxes in advance. The tax principle is to regularize the opportunity: if the person does not regularize may receive fines and assessments.
Remittances are centralized in Paraná, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro: not defined whether to expand services in these locations or if you need to use other cities that may function as referral centers.
Most orders come by plane. Orders up to $ 50 (from individual to individual) do not generate taxes. Corporations have tax exemption. Recently, some corporate taxpayers went to court and won – in the first instance – the possibility of imports of products that amount to waiver.
Checcucci disputes that triggered the arguments of Justice. Said the legislation aims to regulate the market and protect the domestic industry. Taxation has been applied since 1999.
He also reported that there is an exclusive concern with China. “China clearly has a competitive industry. But the concern of the Brazilian State is not only with them, is with the growth of global online trade”, he said.
