The Administrative Council of Tax Resources (Carf), linked to the Ministry of Finance, granted approval, by majority of votes, to the appeal filed by the Finance against Petrobras.
The Carf, an agency linked to the Ministry of Finance, decided, by majority of votes, in favor of the collection of R$ 762 million in taxes from Petrobras. This decision makes the tax debts definitive in the administrative sphere, unless clarification appeals are presented.
Petrobras stated that it will evaluate appropriate measures to defend its interests, including the possibility of judicial appeal. The expectation of loss from this contingency is considered possible, but the Carf’s decision does not require provisioning.
