The Federal Revenue reported this Tuesday (28) that the number of companies classified as persistent debtors rose to 22, that is, those that fail to pay taxes on a planned and recurring basis to obtain a competitive advantage and circumvent tax legislation. The classification was created to identify companies that make non-payment of taxes a business strategy. ?The objective of the list is to combat tax defaults considered substantial, repeated and unjustified, in addition to strengthening tax compliance, encouraging fair competition between companies and increasing the transparency of tax administration actions, according to the Tax Authority. ??The list of persistent debtors is public and available on the Federal Revenue website. The list is updated periodically and only includes companies that have completed the entire administrative process provided for in the complementary legislation and have had their framework formalized.

According to the IRS, the list is dynamic and will continue to be expanded as new administrative processes are completed. Currently, listed companies mainly belong to the cigarette and fuel sectors. According to the Tax Authority, there are plans to extend inspection to other segments of the economy with a history of tax default, which are still under analysis. "Although there is no defined schedule, new notifications should occur over the next few months", informed the Federal Revenue, in a note. The facade of the Federal Revenue Office.
