Companies and individuals with tax debts now have more time to negotiate their debts with the IRS. Ordinance 444\/24, published on 1 August 2024, extended the deadline for joining the Zero Litigation Programme to 31 October 2024. This extension offers a valuable opportunity for those who have debts in administrative litigation of up to R$ 50 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zero Litigation Programme is a Brazilian government initiative aimed at tax regularisation, allowing taxpayers to settle their debts in a more accessible way and with easier conditions. With the extension of the deadline, taxpayers have more time to evaluate their options and join the programme, which can be a crucial tool for the financial health of many companies and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Zero Litigation Programme?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zero Litigation Programme was created as a response to the need to reduce the number of tax disputes between taxpayers and the government. The idea is simple: instead of continuing to dispute tax debts in administrative or judicial litigation, taxpayers have the opportunity to settle their debts with special conditions, such as discounts on fines, interest and charges, as well as longer payment deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative is part of a wider effort by the government to improve efficiency in tax collection and reduce the volume of cases before the courts and administrative bodies. For many taxpayers, especially those with debts considered irrecoverable or difficult to recover, Zero Litigation represents a unique opportunity to regularise their tax situation without further compromising their finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to take part in the Zero Litigation Programme?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining the Zero Litigation Programme is a simple process, but it requires attention to a few important details. Here's how to take part:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Access the e-CAC Portal<\/strong>Joining the programme is done exclusively through the e-CAC Portal, the Federal Revenue Service's electronic system. When accessing the portal, taxpayers should look for the option to join the Zero Litigation Programme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Simulate Payment Conditions<\/strong>Within the portal, it is possible to simulate the payment conditions, checking the applicable discounts, the number of instalments available and other specific conditions. This allows taxpayers to get a clear view of the advantages offered by the programme before making their decision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Choose your Payment Option<\/strong>After simulating the conditions, taxpayers must choose the payment option that best suits their needs. This includes deciding whether to pay in cash with greater discounts or opt for an instalment plan of up to 120 or 140 months, depending on the taxpayer's category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Formalise membership<\/strong>Once everything has been decided, all you have to do is formalise your adherence to the programme on the e-CAC Portal. It is important to remember that, once they have joined, taxpayers must strictly comply with the agreed conditions to avoid the agreement being cancelled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Follow the Process<\/strong>After signing up, it is essential that the taxpayer monitors the progress of the process on the portal, ensuring that all stages are completed and that the instalment payment goes ahead as planned.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What are the advantages of Zero Litigation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Zero Litigation Programme offers several advantages for both individuals and companies. Some of the main ones include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Attractive discounts<\/strong>One of the biggest advantages of Zero Litigation are the discounts offered on interest, fines and charges. For debts classified as irrecoverable or difficult to recover, these discounts can reach up to 100%, limited to 65% of the total amount owed. This means a significant reduction in the total amount to be paid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Long instalments<\/strong>The programme allows debts to be paid in instalments over up to 120 months (10 years) for most taxpayers. For micro and small companies, individuals, charitable organisations, cooperatives and educational institutions, the period can be even longer, up to 140 months. This facilitates financial planning and reduces the impact of debts on cash flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Use of Tax Credits<\/strong>Another important advantage is the possibility of using credits from tax losses and negative calculation bases from the Social Contribution on Net Profits (CSLL) to pay off up to 70% of the debt. This can be an excellent opportunity for companies that have accumulated credits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Special conditions for small businesses<\/strong>Micro and small companies with debts of up to R$ 84,720, regardless of their ability to pay, have access to special conditions, with discounts ranging from 30% to 50% of the total owed, depending on the payment term chosen. This makes Zero Litigation an even more attractive option for small companies looking to regularise their tax situation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Litigation Reduction<\/strong>For the government, one of the great advantages of the programme is the reduction in the number of tax disputes. By encouraging the voluntary settlement of debts, the government is able to reduce the volume of ongoing proceedings, which results in more efficient management of the tax system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Why join the Zero Litigation Programme?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Joining the Zero Litigation programme can be a strategic decision for many taxpayers. In addition to the financial advantages, such as discounts and extended instalments, the programme also offers the opportunity to regularise their tax situation more smoothly, avoiding future complications with the IRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For companies, tax regularisation is crucial not only to avoid sanctions, but also to maintain their reputation in the market and guarantee access to credit lines and other business opportunities. By regularising their debts through Zero Litigation, companies can focus on growing and expanding their operations without the constant worry of outstanding tax issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With the deadline for joining the Zero Litigation Programme extended to 31 October 2024, taxpayers have an additional window to take advantage of the advantageous conditions offered by this initiative. Whether it's to resolve old disputes or to avoid future complications, Zero Litigation is a powerful tool for tax regularisation in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you or your company have tax debts in administrative litigation, now is the time to assess the conditions and decide whether to join the programme.
