(Energy Analytics Institute, 8.Apr.2024) — Petrobras is technically evaluating the draft of the public call for tenders, as is its regular practice whenever alternatives are offered in relation to tax litigation.
The announcement relates to news published in the media about a possible tax transaction, the state energy giant said 8 Apr. 2024 in an official statement.
The item mentioned by the media refers to a tax dispute of significant and widespread legal controversy, related to the possible levying of IRRF, CIDE, PIS and Cofins on remittances abroad in platform chartering contracts, Petrobras said.
“Any decisions as to whether or not to adhere to the proposed tax transaction will be based on careful technical analysis and assessment of economic advantage, in compliance with Petrobras’ Tax Policy, the governance rules and internal procedures applicable to the assessment of the proposal,” Petrobras said.
