Footwear companies excluded from the Special Program for Discharge and Installment of ICMS Debts (Refaz), created in 2019 by State Department of Financewant the reissue of a fiscal recovery program so that they can settle their debts with the state tax authorities.
The election was presented this Friday (10th) to the Regional Revenue Office of the State of Novo Hamburgo by the Union of Footwear Industries of Campo Bom, in a meeting organized by the state deputy and president of the Parliamentary Front in Defense of the Leather-Footwear Sector in the Assembly Legislative, Issur Koch (PP).
“Other unions in the region also received the same request from their members. In view of this, we decided to seek the support of Deputy Issur so that our claim could be presented to the state government”, explained the president of SIC Campo Bom, Antônio Lenhard.
Currently, those who are in debt with the Treasury have the option of paying the debt in 12 installments. “This goes for those who opted for Refaz, but were unable to pay the installments. This ends up making the cash flow of many companies unfeasible, which want to pay their debts, but have encountered difficulties”, explained the tax lawyer of the Commercial, Industrial and Services Association of Novo Hamburgo, Campo Bom, Estância Velha and Dois Irmãos, Marcelo Baum . Baum’s demonstration was also accompanied by Lauri Benke, an accountant and tax consultant for the Union. “Most companies are up to date with their obligations. The problem is the liabilities referring to the past”, he pointed out.
Broaden the debate
The State Revenue Regional Delegate, Alcides Seiji Yano, and Anderson Scheid, a member of the State Revenue Specialized Footwear and Clothing Sector Group, highlighted that any program that may be presented would benefit all sectors of the economy. “There is no way to do something for a specific sector, but for everyone. Another important point is the fact that Rio Grande do Sul cannot carry out a program like this alone, as the proposal needs to be approved by all the Federation units together with the National Council of Treasury Policy – CONFAZ”.
At the end of the meeting, it was agreed that SIC would bring together other unions to present a joint proposal to the State, with the participation of the Coureiro-Footwear Parliamentary Front in the Assembly. “We will continue to monitor this issue, as it is a vital sector for the economy of Rio Grande do Sul, with the generation of thousands of jobs and large collections for public coffers”, concluded Issur.
