“There are R$ 72 billion left, for which we agreed with governors, representatives of the States and municipalities, a sharing of 15% of this net for States and 15% for the Union, this was a move that came from the Executive. Just in this move, we are conceding from the primary revenue of the Union R$ 11.5 billion of the Union for the States,” said Waldery.

The Union has not yet presented a proposal regarding the transfers from the Kandir Law, but listed proposals aimed at benefiting the States in the distribution of resources – among them the sharing of the oil megauction.

At the end of the meeting, States and the Union agreed to create a commission to discuss the topic for six months, with a presentation of a partial report in the first half of December.

States And The Union Agree To Discuss Transfers Of The Kandir Law

Representatives of the States, the Attorney General of the Union, and the Ministry of Economy met this Monday at the STF to discuss the transfers related to the Kandir Law. The Kandir Law stipulates that the Union compensates the States for the ICMS that is not collected due to the exemption of exports.

In Congress, a proposal is ready for a vote in the Plenary of the Chamber that obliges the Union to deliver annually to the States R$ 39 billion as compensation for the exemption of the ICMS.

The deadline expired in August of last year without an agreement on the bill, as the Union wanted to pay R$ 3.9 billion, but the States asked for ten times that amount: R$ 39 billion.

The technical area of the Court of Accounts of the Union (TCU) concluded that the Union no longer has the obligation to make billion-dollar transfers to the States due to the Kandir Law. The constitutional amendment of 2003 established that when 80% of the ICMS is collected in the State where consumption occurs, there will no longer be a right to compensation. The technical area of the government argues that this has already been fulfilled.
