The Union of Cargo Transport and Logistics Companies in Rio Grande do Sul (SETCERGS) warns about essential information regarding the right to purchase trucks with ICMS exemption for carriers in the state. The benefit, valid until the end of 2024, it is intended for companies that reported a decrease in revenue in May, compared to April of this year. The measure, provided for in Decree No. 57.762, published by the Government of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, aims to support the road freight transport sector in light of the recent economic fluctuations caused by the climate tragedy in the state
"SETCERGS worked tirelessly to ensure that companies in the sector could fully benefit from this tax incentive". In the context of floods, there were no losses only for those located in flooded areas. With losses of raw materials and logistical difficulties, practically all companies in the sector faced serious damage, highlighted the Institutional Vice President of SETCERGS, Marcelo Dinon
The State Department of Finance (SEFAZ-RS) has already made available a list with the CNPJs of the carriers that meet the criteria for exemption, conforme estabelecido pela Instrução Normativa 81/2024. However, some carriers reported difficulties in accessing the benefit at the dealerships. THE SETCERGS, in conjunction with SEFAZ-RS, is working to solve these problems and ensure that companies can exercise their rights
The carriers that have not yet been able to access the benefit should contact the legal department of SETCERGS, by emailjuridico@setcergs.com.br, to receive the necessary support and referrals from the State Revenue Service
