Law No. 11,331/2021 of the State of Espírito Santo created the State Tax Recovery Program (“REFIS 2021”), which allows taxpayers to pay debts, penalties and interest from ICMS for chargeable events occurring up to 31/12/2020, whether assessed or not. not and whether or not they are recorded as state tax arrears, and include debts under judicial discussion or formally recorded as an unpaid obligation.

Taxpayers have until 30/12/2021 to join the program. Payment terms depend on (i) the date of application, (ii) the number of maturities and (iii) the composition of the debt (principal and penalty or fair penalty), as summarized below:

The minimum value of each installment is BRL 729.18 for debts over BRL 7,291.80 and BRL 182.30 for debts under BRL 7,291.80.

Participation in REFIS 2021 implies recognition by the taxpayer of the debts included therein and the withdrawal of legal proceedings and administrative defenses relating thereto, as well as the condition of payment of legal costs and/or lawyers’ fees in the case where a legal action has already been filed for judicial recovery or the overdue State liability certificate has been formally challenged.
