At the invitation of Sindifisco Nacional, the entity representing the Tax Auditors of the Brazilian Revenue Service (Receita Federal), our partner Igor Nascimento de Souza spoke at the seminar “Tax Reform: Regulations and Its Impacts,”
At his lecture, Igor presented a general overview of the Tax Reform, especially on the procedure to Settle Tax Debts, highlighting the need for a dedicated chapter in the supplementary legislation for this dispute resolution mechanism. He also debated the main challenges of this project and reinforced the need for continuous improvement in the relationship between the tax authorities and taxpayers, aligning with one of the pillars proposed by the OECD, which encourages countries to adopt “co-operative compliance” programs.
We would like to thank Sindifisco, in the person of its president Dr. Paulo Oshiro, for the invitation and organization of the event, and we congratulate Congressman Reginaldo Lopes and Dr. Helcio Honda for their presentations, and journalist Luiz Fara Monteiro for moderating the panel.
