Recovering financial balance
It is necessary to implement the necessary actions
before ARESEP and the Tax Authority, in order to recover
financial balance within the company. There is not only a tax
problem present, but also one involving tariffs, as there is a
significant gap in the timetables for price analysis.
Although there has been some legal and tax related
rulings, RECOPE must pay taxes and burdens which require
financial resources and with a yet to be defined calculation
basis, any tax paid represents a sacrifice in activities that
could be left without financial funds. It is necessary to review
the current tax legislation, particularly Law 7722 and its
amendment, so RECOPE can face its tax obligations imposed
by the Tax Authorities or other specific laws in the country.
