The Secretariat of Finance of Bahia informs that in July the Central of State Operations in the Transit of Goods (COE) will start operating.

The objective is to adapt the inspection in the transit of goods with the SPED project (Public Digital Bookkeeping System), incorporating in the routine of this type of audit the Electronic invoice (NF-e) and Electronic Bill of Lading (CT-e).

COE will occupy the former archive of the Secretariat of Finance, which had its structure completely reformulated for the implementation of monitoring systems.

This is one of the projects of Encat (National Meeting of State Tax Coordinators and Administrators), which is already a reality in Maranhão.

The initiative is also one of the alternatives presented by the SAT Process Redesign, within the new management concept of the Bahia Finance Secretariat, based on Business Process Management (BPM).

The filter and selection of invoices with risk bias, products included in the Substitution and Tax Anticipation, are pointed out as some of the improvements brought by the new inspection model.

The Central also allows cross-checking of information using the NF-e, the CT-e, the Electronic Manifesto of Tax Documents (MDF-e), State Collection Documents (DAEs), collection information and registration information. This reduces fraud in the movement of goods.

The goods transit inspection will carry out a centralized electronic monitoring of taxpayer purchases and sales operations with some risk of evasion, directing the actions to be carried out by the Mobile Units and Fixed Stations, in addition to generating a great integration network between the State Tax Authorities. .

"This new inspection process is coupled with what was thought by Encat and Redes Redes da Sat, and its implementation will be modulated in several phases, following the recommendations of the project office of the Secretariat of Finance", points out Cláudio Meirelles, superintendent of Tax Administration of the Finance Secretariat.

According to Jaguaracy Costa, coordinator of the implementation project and tax agent of the Finance Secretariat, the COE will act decisively in the coordination of inspection actions carried out by the fiscal posts and mobile units (fiscal steering wheels).

The coordination will direct and guide the inspection to certain operations, taxpayer or product segments, which show signs of fraud or which meet the criteria of tax relevance and risk.

“The work carried out by COE is, above all, preventive, that is, the challenge is to anticipate events since the Tax Authorities have the information even before the actual circulation of goods. In this way, it is possible to direct the action of the tax posts and steering wheels to the impact on the collection and prepare the collection in advance, directing the tax posts to demand the tax at the moment when the merchandise effectively enters the state ”, explains .
