Sefa seizes office supplies, electronic equipment, and soft drinks

State revenue inspectors from the State Department of Finance (Sefa) seized, on Tuesday (03), electronic equipment such as rack fans, connection panels, antennas, and digital radios, totaling R$ 123,902.23. The officials are assigned to the Coordination of Control of Goods in Transit of Araguaia, in São Geraldo do Araguaia, southeastern Pará.

“A vehicle transporting goods from Goiânia-GO to Marabá was stopped. After checking the documents, it was found that the taxpayer did not correctly collect the ICMS related to the Differential Rate (Difal), concerning the difference between internal and interstate rates, intended for the final consumer,” said coordinator Renato Couto.

A Term of Seizure and Deposit (TAD) was issued, with a total due amount, including ICMS and fines, of R$ 12,555.63, which was paid and the goods released.

Office supplies – On the same day, at the Araguaia tax post, on highway PA-447, km 15, in Conceição do Araguaia, office supplies worth R$ 9,081.03 were seized, coming from Palmas-TO destined for Parauapebas.

“The driver of the truck disobeyed the mandatory stop at the post, necessitating a chase and interception with the unit's vehicle, along with the team from the State Military Police (PMPA). Upon returning to the post, the invoices were checked and a physical verification of the goods was carried out,” reported the state revenue inspector.

There were two office desks in the vehicle, valued at R$ 10,270.00, without accompanying fiscal documentation, as well as 18 lamps intended for a non-ICMS taxpayer, without the payment of the differential rates (Difal).

Three Terms of Seizure and Deposit (TADs) were issued, regarding the lack of fiscal documentation, the non-collection of Difal, and the attempted evasion of the tax post, totaling R$ 7,929.56. The amounts were collected and the goods released.

Soft drinks - At the Coordination of Control of Goods in Transit of Tapajós, in Baixo Amazonas, 7,200 units of two-liter soft drinks with internal invoices from Amazonas were also seized on Tuesday, meaning the transport of goods from Manaus to Manaus, valued at R$ 24,140.00.

“The seizure occurred as part of the operations carried out by the tax team of the State Department of Finance of Pará, in conjunction with the integrated forces of the Óbidos River Base, when a vessel from Manaus-AM heading to the municipality of Santarém was approached,” explained the coordinator of the tax unit, Roberto Mota.

A TAD was issued in the amount of R$ 11,558.23, regarding the ICMS and fines.
