The Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, said that the government intends to create a kind of “digital tax” to solve the issue of taxation of international purchases of up to US$ 50. For him, the measure follows the example of developed countries.
When the consumer buys, he will be relieved of any tax collection. It will be done by the company without passing on any additional cost.
Haddad cited Shein’s example to illustrate that large Chinese retailers intend to adhere to the Federal Revenue’s compliance plan.
The minister also said that AliExpress and Shopee sent a letter to the Ministry of Finance seeking to make themselves available to the government to negotiate a solution.
However, Haddad did not inform what the rate of the eventual tax would be, nor did he detail how the government will do so that companies do not pass on the cost of this tax to the price of the product, something that harms the consumer.
So, when you buy on the platform, you will know that you will receive a regular, legal product in your home. Including, if you receive it with problems, you will be able to have someone to complain to, so everything will be fine.
Asked regarding how the government will work to combat fraud and split orders, Haddad declined to go into the matter.
In a note sent to TV Globo, the Ministry of Finance explained the concept of digital tax defended by the minister.
What the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, called a ‘digital tax’ is the tax that already exists, but which will be collected at source, before the goods are shipped. It is important to point out that there will be no creation or increase of tax, only the facilitation of facilitated electronic collection. The measure is under development and will be detailed shortly. It should be emphasized that the main objective is to guarantee fair competition so that the consumer benefits in the short, medium and long term.
