S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Representatives of the Moroccan tax collection agency have been to Brazil in order to get to know the anti-evasion system implemented by the Brazilian Federal Revenue. The group, comprised of six people, visited the AmBev beverage manufacturing company\u2019s plant, in the Federal District, early this month, to take a close look at the functioning of the Federal Revenue\u2019s Beer and Soft Drinks Production Control System (Sicobe, in the Portuguese acronym). The system has been implemented at AmBev\u2019s 28 factories in Brazil, according to information supplied by the company.<\/p>\n
According to the AmBev press office, the Moroccans spent approximately two hours at the factory in the Federal District. The beverage manufacturing plant, at which the device is implemented across all production lines, has already received several foreign delegations interested in witnessing how the Sicobe works. The Moroccans\u2019 visit took place as part of a larger programme, by which they got to know other work systems of the Brazilian Federal Revenue. <\/p>\n
The Sicobe\u2019s objective is to prevent tax evasion. The equipment broadcasts information on what is manufactured at the plant, such as type of product, packaging, pricing, brand, and amount, directly to the Federal Revenue. The data are then checked against figures collected by the output meters \u2013 another of the Revenue\u2019s control systems, which only counts the number of litres produced \u2013 and against information supplied by the companies to the Federal Revenue for tax payment. The implementing of the Sicobe is mandatory at cold beverage factories in Brazil.<\/p>\n
AmBev was the first beverage manufacturer in Brazil to install the Sicobe, in the first half of last year, at two of its factories, in the Federal District and in the state of Goi\u00e1s. It was also the first to implement the output meters, which became mandatory in 2006. The company manufactures brands of Brazilian beers such as Brahma, Antarctica, Bohemia and Skol, and soft drinks such as Guaran\u00e1 Antarctica, Pepsi, Sukita and Soda. It has operations in 14 countries, all of them in the American continent, and employs 39,000 people, 23,000 of which are in Brazil.<\/p>\n
