The burden of taxes on the fan, beer and other friends of the summer

São Paulo – the heat isn't working Truce to Brazilians in the beginning of year and the search for a relief has been great. The volumes sold to fans of the country's largest manufacturer of the product, the Mondial Appliances, grow more 70% over the last 30 days as compared to the same period last year. It was the best performance of the company's sales for the period in three years. The Casas Bahia and Ponto Frio have sold in the first half of January the volume of fans, air conditioning and air conditioners that would be marketed in January in one piece. There are already sporadic shortages being recorded, but even those who find the products will face another obstacle: our famous Brazilian tax burden. It's showing a survey commissioned by the ACSP (Associação Comercial de São Paulo) to the Brazilian Institute of Tax planning (IBPT) and released last week. An air conditioner to R $1,200, for example, has built nearly R $600 in taxes, while someone who buy a 100 real fan will have pocketed R $49.60 in charge. In both cases, the weight of 50% border tax. Who get relief in alcoholic beverages will find a high level of burden on vodka (81.52%), caipirinha (76.66%), whiskey (67.03%), pint (62.2%). "On these items fall IPI and ICMS. If the product comes out of Brazil, there are also the import rate, which suffers the influence of fluctuation of the dollar ", explains in a note Alencar Burti, President of ACSP and the Federation of trade associations in the State of São Paulo (Facesp). The beer is the least taxed alcoholic beverages, with 42.69%, closer to the cost of soft drinks is in bottle (46.47%) or canned (44.55%).
