Sefa seizes cell phones and plastic profiles transported irregularly in southeastern Pará
Inspection actions in Conceição do Araguaia resulted in two seizures and the collection of over R$ 97 thousand in taxes and fines
The Government of the State of Pará, through the Secretary of Finance (Sefa), carried out two inspection actions on Wednesday (14) at the tax unit for controlling goods in transit in Araguaia, located at km 15 of the PA-447 highway, in Conceição do Araguaia, southeastern state. The approaches resulted in the seizure of 18 cell phones and 8,000 m² of plastic profiles, both transported irregularly.
During an inspection carried out in the early morning, the Sefa team stopped an interstate bus coming from Goiânia (GO), heading to several municipalities in Pará. When questioned, the driver claimed he was not transporting goods. However, during the physical inspection of the vehicle, the inspectors found a box hidden in the driver's cabin, containing 18 cell phones, valued at R$ 20,370.69, all without fiscal documentation.
“During the early morning, a bus coming from Goiânia-GO was stopped, heading to various municipalities in Pará. The driver claimed he was not transporting goods, however, the team conducted a physical inspection of the vehicle and found a box in the driver's cabin. The inspection requested the removal of the volume for verification and the hidden cell phones were found being transported without an invoice,” reported Renato Couto, coordinator of the Sefa unit in Araguaia.
A Term of Seizure and Deposit (TAD) was issued in the amount of R$ 6,966.77, referring to the tax and fine. After the amount was collected, the goods were released.
Plastic profiles with fiscal irregularity
Still on the 14th, the same Sefa unit seized a load of 8,000 m² of plastic profiles, valued at R$ 338,433.93. The material came from União da Vitória (PR) and was destined for a construction consortium in Parauapebas (PA), a non-ICMS taxpayer.
Although the driver presented an invoice with the nature of operation "Consignment Shipment", the fiscal team found that the goods would be used in construction, characterizing use and consumption, which invalidates this type of fiscal document for the operation.
Given the irregularity, a TAD was issued in the amount of R$ 90,023.43, referring to the lack of collection of the differential rate (Difal) to the State of Pará. The amount was collected and the load was released.
