The Internal Revenue Service Inspection Secretary, Iágaro Jung Martins, released the Inspection Planning for 2016, and the inspection balance for 2015.

The main operations that will be subject to inspection:

  • Tax planning linked to operations with goodwill amortization
  • Tax planning involving equity investment funds
  • Taxation of profits earned in subsidiaries and associated companies abroad
  • Tax evasion involving non-profit distribution
  • Evasion in the cigarette, beverage and fuel sectors
  • Tax planning involving professional image rights
  • Social security evasion due to improper registration of the option for Simples Naciona

In 2016, the RFB starts to process the information received from the IRS (North American Federal Revenue) and compare it with the other information provided by Brazilian taxpayers who have bank accounts in financial institutions in the United States of America.

 In 2015, the inspection constituted R $ 125,6 billion in tax credits, frustrating the expectation that was R $ 150 billion. According to the Undersecretary, the reduction in the number of tax auditors explains the decrease.
