The Attorney General's Office of the National Treasury (PGFN) informed today (16) that it intends to increase the collection of the Union's active debt to a value between R $ 30 billion and R $ 35 billion in 2016, which corresponds to an increase of up to R $ 20 billion in relation to 2015. This year, the collection of active debt was R $ 15 billion, of which R $ 7 billion related to installments.

The attorney general's effort is in line with the New Active Debt Collection Plan structured over the second half of 2015, which was developed to expand the protest of the active debt certificate to medium and large debtors, with expected collection between R $ 3 billion to 6 billion.

Another measure was the signing of a technical cooperation agreement between the Minister of Finance, Joaquim Levy, and the President of the National Council of Justice (CNJ), Ricardo Lewandowski, to foster and apply solutions in partnership between the Judiciary and the Executive Branch , to more quickly recover credits in favor of the State. To this end, an agreement will establish a work plan with mechanisms so that debtors' processes with a greater prospect of payment can be processed more quickly.

The prosecutor's office informed that it has already forwarded to the National Council of Justice a list of the thousand largest tax enforcement proceedings, with guarantee and surety, so that the judgment is streamlined. These lawsuits total R $ 25 billion. The collection forecast, in these cases, reaches 10 billion.

In another measure, the PGFN, the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra) and the Federal Attorney General's Office, linked to the Federal Attorney General's Office, have joined together to charge the largest debtors and owners of rural land in the Union. shows that 26 owners of the largest areas owe R $ 45 billion. The collection forecast ranges from R $ 5 billion to 10 billion.

The body established a rating of large debtors, with a focus on collecting those with the greatest possibility of recovery, with a forecast of collection of R $ 5 billion and asset monitoring of large debtors at the Administrative Council of Tax Resources (Carf), with collection forecast of between R $ 2 billion to 4 billion. Another measure provides for greater effectiveness in requests for attachment of assets and rights, with an estimate of raising between R $ 2 billion and 5 billion.

The Federal Prosecutor's Office wants to improve its fiscal research and analysis activities, with a differentiated performance in relation to debtors with signs of “committing fraud” and expects to raise, with this, from R $ 2 billion to 5 billion.

For the Attorney's Office, the reform of the CARF and the expectation of accelerating judgments in 2016, will allow to increase the collection, since the Council prioritizes the admissibility assessment of the Special Resources to define if the appeal will be followed up in the superior instance or will pass for collection, first administrative and, eventually, by the Attorney's Office.
