The ICMS on Solar Energy in MT Has Been Repealed by Lawmakers. The Correction of an Error in the Wording of the Old Text Opened Avenues for Unscrupulous Interpretations.

In the first vote, the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso (ALMT) approved the repeal of the tax on the Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) on solar energy in Mato Grosso (MT).

About the Vote on the ICMS Charge on Solar Energy

Presented this Wednesday (28) by State Representative Faissal Calil at ALMT, the Draft of Complementary Law No. 18/2021, which changes the text approved by the House in 2019 regarding the ICMS charge on solar energy, the parliamentarian’s proposal suggests this change after users pointed out that the tax was included in their electricity bills for the month of April.

At ALMT, the text repealing the ICMS charge was approved unanimously. Faissal stated on the podium that the utility responsible for the distribution of electricity in Mato Grosso (MT) had prompted the state government to impose the ICMS tax on consumers who use solar energy, which is reflected in energy tariffs.

Senator’s Words Regarding Energisa’s Provocation

In 2019, at the time of the law’s approval, there was a drafting error, leaving loopholes for unscrupulous interpretations, and in April of this year (2021), the state government began taxing solar energy equipment, at the instigation of Energisa.

“This is a disorder, and we cannot let this continue happening,” Faissal stated. Therefore, this provision will be amended so that Parliament does not become a hostage of Confaz (National Council of Fiscal Policy). The bill ensuring the exemption of ICMS for solar energy was approved, considering that all lawmakers from Mato Grosso (MT) oppose taxing solar energy.

The new text merely corrects and clarifies the old one, preventing other interpretations or the benefit of a specific category. Faissal also stated that the state government of MT must approve the new ICMS text; otherwise, it will be understood that the entities approve the undue taxation.

The Potential of MT Regarding Solar Energy

The northeastern region of Mato Grosso (MT) is an area that has a high rate of insolation for solar energy, according to studies conducted. However, the region accounts for only 6.35% of the GDP, with 22 municipalities and approximately 248,000 inhabitants, as well as an income of approximately R$ 37,000, which is below the average for states. Despite these disadvantages, the state is considered rich in renewable energy sources, especially solar energy, as it is located in the Midwest of Brazil.

The Potential of MT Regarding Solar Energy

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The largest meat cooperative in Brazil estimates that it would need to hire an additional 11,000 workers on top of the current 51,000 just to produce slightly less than today, if Congress approves the end of the 6×1 schedule and the 40-hour workweek.

Nvidia wants to spend up to $150 billion annually in Taiwan, employ 4,000 people, and transform the new headquarters into a key piece of AI expansion.

James Webb finds a deformed lemon-shaped planet orbiting a dead star, with an atmosphere of helium and carbon, soot and carbon clouds that could turn into diamond in the depths; composition defies everything scientists expected from a Jupiter-sized world.
