TAX AUDITORS SUSPEND PUBLIC SERVICE AND PART OF CARGO RELEASE AT PORT OF SANTOS, SP.

Tax auditors from the Federal Revenue Office in Santos have suspended service and cargo release at the Port of Santos, SP, due to the federal government’s failure to comply with the salary agreement. The measure, ongoing since 2017 with intermittent strikes, could result in up to 50% of accumulated cargo in port operations. Essential services such as the release of perishable goods and medications continue. The National Syndicate of Tax Auditors awaits the decision of a national assembly to accept or reject a government proposal. Port authorities and private operators monitor the impacts of the protests, while the Ministry of Finance and the Union of Port Operators have not yet commented.
