Throughout Brazil, the Giant of Brazilian Oil Collected R$ 93.5 Billion in State Taxes Last Year

Petrobras, the giant of Brazilian oil, collected R$ 9.5 billion in Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) in Rio de Janeiro in 2021, equivalent to 20.1% of all that the State collected that year from the tax, and 37% more than the R$ 6.9 billion collected in 2020. This information appears in the company’s Fiscal Report, released yesterday afternoon, March 22.

During the past year, Petrobras collected R$ 93.5 billion in ICMS throughout the country, with R$ 61 billion resulting from operations inherent to its own commercial activities, and R$ 32.5 billion as a tax substitute, in which the company assumes the legal burden and responsibility of collecting the ICMS due by other economic agents, such as distributors and resellers, throughout the fuel marketing chain, up to the final consumer. This total value represents an increase of 43% over the R$ 65.5 billion collected in 2020.

The more resources Petrobras generates, the more it returns to society. In 2021, Petrobras transferred approximately R$ 230 billion to Brazilian society in dividends to the Union and taxes to federal, state, and municipal governments.

Petrobras collected a total of R$ 54.5 billion from public coffers in 2021 solely from royalties and special participations, the highest annual amount ever paid by the company. According to the state-owned company, this amount represents an increase of about 70% compared to 2020 (R$ 32 billion), and approximately 36% compared to 2019, the previous record (R$ 39.9 billion).

These significant values demonstrate that the activities of Petrobras generate returns not only for the company but for society as a whole. In the last 5 years, the increase has been even greater. The amount collected in 2021 is about 285% higher in royalties than what was paid in 2016 (R$ 14.2 billion).

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Oil drives Brazil’s GDP and repositions the country among the largest economies in the world.

Science discovers that the air is not empty as it seems, but rather a gigantic natural archive that stores DNA of animals, plants, and humans without anyone noticing.

Ocean warming spikes in 2026 even without El Niño, approaches the record of 2024, and raises global alarm with the Arctic at its lowest ice level and an energy imbalance of the Earth at its highest in 65 years.

The seven-blade propeller could equip the M700 FURY aircraft, making it quieter and more efficient, after certification from EASA.

Corn outside the window may dry out in May and June: rain will only last until the end of April, El Niño is still uncertain, and three waves of polar air may bring strong frosts as early as the second half of May.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
