Rio Grande do Sul launches plan to regularize tax debts in the meatpacking sector

The government of Rio Grande do Sul launched a new stage of the Refaz Reconstruction program aimed exclusively at the meatpacking sector, with the goal of regularizing ICMS tax debts, the DBO portal reported.

The initiative covers 194 companies, with accumulated liabilities close to R$ 1 billion, and offers discounts of up to 100% on interest and penalties, both for lump-sum settlement and installment payment plans. The program includes debts overdue up to December 31, 2024, and seeks to strengthen the sector’s financial stability, preserve jobs, and sustain economic activity.
