Corn, rice, and fuel loads are seized in the south and northeast of Pará
Irregularities in the collection of due taxes motivated the seizures in Conceição do Araguaia, Santana do Araguaia, and Dom Eliseu
State tax inspectors from the Coordination of Goods in Transit Control of Araguaia, from the State Department of Finance (Sefa), in southern Pará, seized 46 tons of corn in grains, transported from Piçarra (PA) to Lajedo (PE), on Thursday (17), on the PA-447 highway, KM-15, in the municipality of Conceição do Araguaia. The load was valued at R$ 53,596.80.
“The driver of the truck presented an invoice for the corn, and the inspection, upon consulting the systems, verified that the load was in an irregular situation, as it was a commodity subject to the advance tax upon leaving the Pará territory,” informed the coordinator of the tax unit, Renato Couto.
As there was no prior collection of the ICMS, a Term of Seizure and Deposit (TAD) was drawn up, in the amount of R$ 9,004.27, which was paid and the goods released.
Rice – On the same day, at the Barreira do Campo tax post, on the PA-441 highway, KM-38, in the municipality of Santana do Araguaia, 32 tons of type 2 rice in husk were seized, originating from Moju (PA) and destined for Aparecida de Goiânia (GO).
Upon checking the tax documents, the Sefa team found that the advance ICMS for the goods had not been collected upon leaving the State. The goods were valued at R$ 33,260.00. A TAD was drawn up, in the amount of R$ 5,587.68. The amount was collected, and the load was released.
Fuel - On Friday (18), at the Coordination of Goods in Transit Control of Itinga, in Dom Eliseu, a municipality in northeastern Pará, 1,570 buckets of lubricating fuel were seized, valued at R$ 465,000.00. The load left Duque de Caxias (RJ) destined for Ananindeua (PA).
“The goods, subject to the tax substitution regime (ST), entered Pará with a lower ICMS ST collection. Since the sender does not have a State Registration (IE) as a tax substitute in the State of Pará, a Term of Seizure and Deposit (TAD) was drawn up, charging the difference of the due tax, totaling R$ 147,203.30, immediately collected by the taxpayer,” reported the coordinator of the Itinga unit, Rafael Brasil.
