Receita Federal separates the wheat from the chaff in fighting fraud

oglobo29 August 2026 at 03:08

Brazil's Federal Revenue Service, in partnership with the Federal Police and the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, has intensified the repression against consulting firms that commercialize false tax credits. In just over two years, operations such as Títulos Podres, Obsidiana, and Quimera Fiscal dismantled schemes that caused damages exceeding R$ 1.6 billion to public coffers.

The investigations reveal that the fraudulent consulting firms induce good-faith companies into filing Compensation Declarations (PER/DCOMP) backed by nonexistent, time-barred, or fabricated assets, exposing these taxpayers to qualified fines.

According to the article, this enforcement has helped separate the fraudsters from legitimate companies, bringing legal certainty to taxpayers who correctly exercise the constitutional right to use real financial credits for offsetting accounts.

The judicial decisions ordered the Union to create administrative mechanisms to enable the so-called "account matching," removing sanctions and ensuring legal certainty for companies and consulting firms affected by these bureaucratic hurdles.
