From this Tuesday (1), ICMS trading tax (ICMS) Pass 17 % to 20 % In ten Brazilian states, which affect international purchases on e -commerce platforms such as Shein and Shopee. Barra fled the new amendment and remains at the previous rate, but consumers are already underestimating the pace of purchases on platforms, and in some cases, he intends to stop good. A economist at Para Rafael Sochosa argues that the most applicable method is to reduce taxes and says that The arguments of the increase are weak.
The intention behind the new rate is to protect the local market due to the large assembly of internal taxes, which the economist describes as “inefficiency.” It indicates the movement to increase imported imports instead of reducing taxes inside the country. “It is a very weak argument, we have to be concerned about what the consumer pays. Therefore, it seems as if the consumer is attached to a lot so that Brazil receives our inhabitants.”
According to Bouhosa, the increase in the tax burden is only to believe that the state’s inefficiency can always be corrected with more increases. At this rate, the country moves towards what it describes as a “dangerous way”. He says: “The situation reaches a dangerous point. Dangerous in any sense? It can start breaking many people. The population has no room to bear the tax burden.”
Economy expectations are that there will be no markets for consumers if the country continues to betray the group. He says: “The population may think they have previously bought from outside because the money can buy it and now you cannot buy either from the outside or from the inside, because much of what people buy is things that one can stay on.”
In practice
The abandonment of the imported purchases was the choice of the student dos santos, who reached this decision with previous fees such as “a rate of blouse”, and the federal tax on international purchases of up to $ 50. It has been on e -commerce platforms since 2021, when she said the prices were more attractive. However, this has gradually changed until your purchases are interrupted.
“At that time, the prices were more affordable than national clothes, so it was very useful to buy accessories and clothes in these stores, since I only bought there. But since 2024, so far, it has been impossible to buy international things, rates of double the value of the product and it is not possible to buy.”
Not only the imported consumer surrendered, but also from national products as well. According to her, both of them were not possible over the years. He says, “I will just go away, and I will stop. I will be without anything, because it will be not possible for me to buy a national and international,” he says.
