PALAVRA DO SECRETÁRIO
Em 2018 a Receita Federal completa 50 anos. Enquanto vivemos os preparativos para a comemo-
ração de data tão significativa, é preciso olhar o passado prodigioso e planejar os dias vindouros
que darão continuidade ao projeto institucional de prestar melhores serviços à sociedade.
Mais que a capacidade inventiva da Instituição em encontrar soluções tecnológicas de ponta ou
o protagonismo no contexto de troca de informações que pautam a estratégia contemporânea
das administrações tributárias mundo afora, acredito que o elemento que realmente define a
Receita Federal são os seus milhares de colaboradores, que se dedicam a torná-la forte e res-
peitada. Foram esses profissionais que ao longo dos anos formaram legado técnico e intelectual
que coloca a Receita Federal como referência no serviço público nacional.
Alguns dos recentes resultados obtidos decorrentes da dedicação do seu corpo funcional podem
ser conferidos nesta edição do informativo Fato Gerador. Foram batidos recordes tanto na fis-
calização de tributos internos quanto aduaneiros. As apreensões de drogas e de mercadorias
ilegais também atingiram a maior marca histórica.
Ao mesmo tempo em que intensificou o cerco aos que praticam atos ilícitos, a Receita Federal
atuou com efetividade para facilitar o cumprimento de obrigações por parte dos bons contribuin-
tes. Iniciativas como o Portal Único de Comércio Exterior, a Nota Fiscal de Serviços Eletrônica,
a redução de obrigações tributárias e a inserção do CPF automaticamente na certidão de nas-
cimento são exemplos de ações que simplificam a vida do cidadão e melhoram o ambiente de
negócios do país.
Merecem destaque também as premiações que reconheceram os programas de sucesso da
Receita Federal nas áreas de Tecnologia da Informação e de Gestão da Ética, resultado do inves-
timento institucional em favor da adoção de práticas cotidianas que a colocam na vanguarda da
governança no serviço público.
Encerrar um ciclo com resultados positivos demonstra que as decisões tomadas pela direção
que nos precedeu foram acertadas e que podemos esperar por um futuro auspicioso para os
próximos anos.
Os avanços registrados no último período anual comprovam que a sociedade brasileira pode
confiar na Receita Federal. Por outro lado, aqueles que praticam ilícitos tributários e aduaneiros
devem temê-la.
Boa leitura!
In 2018, the Federal Revenue celebrates 50 years. While we live the preparations to commemorate this such
relevant date, we must look at the prodigious past and plan the days to come that will give continuity to the institutional
project on providing better services to society.
More than the inventiveness of the institution to find cutting edge technological solutions or the protagonism in
the information exchange context ruling the contemporary strategy of tax administrations worldwide, I believe that the
element that really defines the Federal Revenue is its thousands of collaborators, dedicated to strengthen the institution
and make it respected. Over the years, these professionals has formed a technical and intellectual legacy that places
the Federal Revenue as reference in the national public service.
Some of the recent results stemming from the dedication of its functional body can be checked in this edition
of Fato Gerador magazine. Customs and internal revenue inspections have achieved record results. Seizures of drugs
and illegal goods have also reached all-time record.
Besides intensifying the siege to those who practice illicit acts, the Federal Revenue also acted strongly to
facilitate tax compliance by good taxpayers. Initiatives such as the Single Foreign Trade Portal, the Electronic Service
Invoice, reduction of tax obligations and automatic insertion of the CPF (Individual Taxpayer Register) in birth certificate
are examples of actions simplifying citizen's life and improving country's business environment.
Also worthy of mention are the awards recognizing the Federal Revenue's successful programs on Information
Technology and Ethics Management, as result of institutional investment in adopting everyday practices, thus placing
the institution at the forefront of governance in the public service.
Concluding a cycle with positive results demonstrates that decisions made by the leadership that preceded us
were right, so we can hope for an auspicious future in the next years.
Last year's advances show that Brazilian society can rely on the Federal Revenue. On the other hand, those who
commit illegal tax and customs acts must fear the institution.
Good reading!
