Public Hearing on Project of Law 6788/2017: Restructuring the Receita Federal and AGU

The public hearing of the Finance and Taxation Committee is officially opened, initiated by the speaker who references request number 81/2022, aimed at discussing Bill 6788 of 2017. This bill pertains to the position of Information Technology Analyst within the Information Technology career and establishes a Special Plan for Support Positions within the Attorney General's Office, structuring support careers for tax and customs activities at the Federal Revenue of Brazil.

The speaker expresses gratitude for the presence of all attendees, particularly the distinguished guests invited to the panel. The arrangement of the seating is discussed, allowing flexibility for guests to either sit at the table or in front, with the provision of a wireless microphone for convenience.

The speaker invites several key figures to join the panel, including Juliano Brito, Secretary of Corporate Management at the Federal Revenue of Brazil; Luiz Roberto da Silva, President of the National Union of Administrative Servers of the Ministry of Finance; Dan Leal Pereira dos Santos, Director of International Relations of the National Union of Tax Auditors; and other notable representatives from various associations related to public service and tax administration.

The speaker informs participants that the meeting is being broadcast live and recorded for future transcription. Participants are requested to speak into the microphone and keep their cameras on when applicable. Each speaker will have up to 10 minutes for their presentation, extendable at the discretion of the chair. Members wishing to engage in discussions must register via infoleg, with speaking order prioritized for the request's author, committee leaders, and other members.

The speaker introduces Luiz Roberto da Silva, President of the National Union of Administrative Servers of the Ministry of Finance, to commence the hearing. Luiz Roberto is allotted 10 minutes for his presentation, with arrangements made for him to access the necessary equipment for his speech.

The discussion begins with the necessity for creating a specific career within the Receita Federal, driven by a request from administrative servers and a legal requirement. According to Article 37, Section 22 of the Constitution, tax administrations must be led by professionals from specific career paths. The current structure, which includes the PEC (Proposta de Emenda à Constituição), does not fulfill this requirement, indicating a legal loophole.

The legal framework supporting this need is further reinforced by Law 11.457, which established the Receita Federal and the so-called 'super receita' by merging the Receita Federal and the social security revenue. This law states that the activities of the Receita Federal are essential, non-delegable, and must be performed by employees from its functional staff. However, a study by the Tribunal de Contas da União revealed that 80% of administrative servers at the Receita Federal are not part of its staff, but rather from the Ministry of Finance, which complicates the legal compliance.

The current structure of the PEC consists of approximately 127 disparate job roles with varying responsibilities, which do not align with the essential functions of the Receita Federal. The roles include activities related to tax administration, customs, and auditing, but the lack of a specific career path leads to confusion and inefficiency. The only recognized career within the Receita Federal is that of auditors and analysts, leaving other employees, such as those in the PEC, without clear job definitions that match their actual duties.

A tragic incident highlights the consequences of the current job structure. A colleague from Goiânia, who was not officially assigned to the task, tragically died in an accident while transporting seized cigarette cargo to Goiânia. This incident underscores the dangers of employees being assigned tasks outside their official job descriptions, leading to unnecessary risks and loss of life. The speaker emphasizes that if the colleague had been performing duties aligned with their official role, this tragedy could have been avoided.

The speaker advocates for the approval of Bill 6788, which aims to address these issues by establishing a clear career path for employees within the Receita Federal. The argument is made that creating a defined career structure would not only enhance operational efficiency but also protect employees from being placed in dangerous situations outside their job descriptions, ultimately preventing further tragedies.

The discussion highlights the ongoing issue of function misuse within the Receita Federal, a problem identified by the Tribunal de Contas since 2006. The speaker emphasizes that the proposed bill aims to address this issue by providing legal clarity regarding the roles and responsibilities of employees, particularly those in 127 specific positions, including administrative agents and typists, who are currently misassigned. Approximately 25% of the Receita Federal's workforce is affected by this misuse, which leads to legal violations under the regime established by Law 8112, specifically Articles 116 and 117, which outline the duties and prohibitions for public servants.

The proposed legislation is presented as a solution that not only clarifies the roles of public servants but also ensures that there is no financial impact on the budget. The speaker asserts that there will be no salary increases or new bonuses associated with the bill, and any potential budgetary implications can be managed through existing resources allocated for public servants. The speaker urges that the approval of the bill PL 6788 should not face obstacles, as the necessary financial adjustments can be made by the CFT or through executive amendments.

A request is made for the bill's text to be updated to reflect current realities, suggesting that certain categories included in the original proposal no longer require legislative attention as their issues have been resolved through other means. The speaker advocates for the retention of only those categories that still need resolution, emphasizing the importance of documenting this request for clarity and efficiency in the legislative process.

The urgency of the proposed legislation is reiterated, with the speaker noting that the bill has been pending since 2017. The importance of addressing the needs of the various careers affected by the bill is underscored, highlighting the necessity for timely action to resolve outstanding issues related to public service roles.

The speaker, a Federal Prosecutor, emphasizes the need for legislative support to expedite the approval of a specific bill (PL). They acknowledge that the bill requires adjustments due to its outdated nature but express confidence that with goodwill, necessary changes can be made swiftly.

The speaker introduces the Advocacy General (AGU) as an institution comprising dedicated individuals working for the betterment of society and the country. They highlight the importance of recognizing not only the members but also the servers within the AGU, stressing the need for additional personnel to meet the demands of their responsibilities.

The AGU currently operates with fewer than one server per member, which the speaker deems unacceptable. They point out that the AGU, as a public advocacy body, plays a crucial role alongside other essential justice functions as outlined in Article 131 of the Federal Constitution.

The speaker notes that while the work of the Public Defender's Office and judges is well-known, the contributions of public advocacy often remain in the background. They aim to raise awareness about the AGU's significant role in society and the impact of their work, which is often overlooked.

In 2023, the AGU reported an economic impact of 1.4 trillion reais from its activities. This figure encompasses not only the work of public lawyers but also the contributions of the supporting staff, highlighting the AGU's integral role in various federal public policies.

The AGU is involved in the development of all federal public policies, ranging from mining regulations to space agency initiatives. The speaker emphasizes that public lawyers are present in critical infrastructure projects, including oil auctions, port and airport concessions, and energy regulations, underscoring their pervasive influence on citizens' lives.

The speaker discusses the AGU's role in environmental matters, referencing the legal actions related to the Mariana and Brumadinho disasters. They stress the commitment of AGU lawyers to environmental protection and the necessity of enforcing environmental regulations, indicating that the AGU is actively involved in addressing these pressing issues.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of public advocacy in education, noting that all federal universities and institutes have a public attorney available to support public education policies. This highlights the commitment to ensuring that educational policies are effectively implemented and accessible.

The speaker reveals that there are approximately 7,000 judicial actions filed against the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) every day. These cases require careful handling by public attorneys, who often negotiate settlements to facilitate the public policy of benefit concessions when appropriate.

The speaker highlights a significant legal victory where the public advocacy group saved the government 340 billion BRL through their actions in the Supreme Federal Court. This underscores the critical role of public advocacy in managing public funds and ensuring the efficient operation of government policies.

The speaker stresses the urgent need to expedite the approval of a specific legislative proposal (PL) that is crucial for the effective functioning of public advocacy. They acknowledge previous attempts to address issues related to public advocacy that have not progressed, emphasizing the necessity for timely legislative adjustments to support public service.

Alexandre Magno, the director of professional defense at the National Union of Tax Analysts of the Federal Revenue of Brazil, addresses the assembly virtually. He points out that the legislative proposal (PL) is outdated, having been submitted in 2017, and notes that certain categories, such as IT analysts, have already been addressed in recent legislation.

Magno emphasizes the need for revisions to the legislative proposal to reflect the current realities of the Federal Revenue service. He mentions that the original proposal aimed to resolve issues for colleagues from the social security sector who were reassigned to the Federal Revenue in 2007, indicating that their situations have already been addressed through constitutional actions.

The discussion includes the proposal for creating a new career structure within the Federal Revenue, specifically aimed at supporting tax and customs activities. Magno clarifies that this is not merely a restructuring but the establishment of a new career path, which is essential for the effective functioning of the agency.

The discussion highlights the distinct roles within the tax and customs career in Brazil, particularly focusing on tax analysts and fiscal auditors. These roles are defined under Article 37, Section 22 of the Federal Constitution, emphasizing their specific functions within the Federal Revenue Service. The two positions, auditor fiscal and analista tributário, both require higher education and are governed by Law 10.593 of 2002, which delineates their responsibilities. Although these roles do not directly communicate, they complement each other in the administration of tax duties.

The speaker notes that while administrative staff play essential roles in the functioning of the Federal Revenue Service, their activities are considered non-specific and primarily supportive of the tax and customs careers. There are currently 1,227 such positions, and the speaker stresses the need for clear regulations to prevent role confusion and ensure that these employees are not assigned tasks outside their designated responsibilities. This is particularly relevant given recent observations of role misalignment within the organization.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of maintaining the integrity of job classifications within the public service to avoid budgetary increases or conflicts with existing roles. When creating new positions to support tax and customs activities, it is crucial to ensure that these roles do not overlap with current positions. The speaker advocates for salary equivalence and educational level alignment between existing and proposed roles to maintain fairness and clarity in job functions.

The speaker discusses the necessity of clearly defining the nomenclature of new support roles to avoid confusion with existing positions, such as the tax analyst role. For instance, titles like 'administrative technical analyst for tax support' should be explicitly stated to differentiate them from tax analysts. This clarity is vital for maintaining an equitable relationship among various public service roles and ensuring that job titles accurately reflect the responsibilities and functions of the positions.

The speaker references Article 3 of Law 8.112 of 1990, which defines a public position by its set of responsibilities and duties. They argue that a proper designation is essential to encapsulate what the role entails. Citing the late Professor Eli Lopes Meirelles, the speaker reiterates that a public position must have a specific name, responsibilities, and duties, underscoring the need for the Federal Revenue Service to ensure clarity and security in its operations, as highlighted by the preceding speaker, Dr. Luciana Rolf.

The discussion emphasizes the critical role of the Receita Federal in financing public policies. It highlights the need for a careful balance in addressing issues that hinder these activities, ensuring that any adjustments do not lead to further confusion. The speaker references PL 6788, which outlines the responsibilities of administrative colleagues and stresses the importance of safeguarding the functions of tax and customs career servers. The proposal includes a provision to restrict administrative staff from performing specific tasks reserved for tax and customs professionals.

The proposal also introduces a professional qualification bonus related to the educational qualifications of tax and customs career servers. The speaker argues that if such qualifications are extended to administrative staff, it is only fair that they also apply to the specialized career servers in tax and customs, ensuring equitable treatment across roles.

Dan Leal Pereira dos Santos, the director of international relations and inter-union affairs of the National Union of Federal Tax Auditors, outlines the extensive and complex operations of the Receita Federal, which is responsible for over 95% of federal revenue collection. He explains that the agency's activities encompass revenue control, tax credit management, and customs oversight at ports, airports, and border points across Brazil. The Receita Federal's multifaceted role includes combating smuggling and ensuring compliance, although media coverage often focuses on its enforcement actions.

The Receita Federal is structured around two main roles: the federal tax auditor, who has exclusive responsibilities, and the tax analyst, who has defined duties. However, the agency's operations rely on a broad range of personnel, including those from the former Social Security Secretariat and other general career servers. The speaker notes the ongoing irregularity of general career servers performing revenue collection and control tasks, emphasizing the need for legislative adjustments to rectify this situation, as proposed in the current PL.

The speaker emphasizes the need to correct the current situation within the Receita Federal by establishing a distinct career path for technical support roles. This new career should not be confused with the existing tax and customs careers, which are governed by different laws and remuneration policies. The aim is to prevent overlaps in responsibilities that could lead to conflicts and inefficiencies in public service.

The speaker highlights the urgent need for more personnel within the Receita Federal, particularly in administrative and technical support roles. This shortage has resulted in the overburdening of the core activities performed by tax and customs authorities. The speaker advocates for the inclusion of support staff to handle various necessary functions, thereby allowing the Receita Federal to operate more effectively and serve societal interests better.

The speaker, representing Sindifisco Nacional and its President Isaac Moreno Falcão, expresses full support for the approval of the proposed legislation, emphasizing the importance of clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of all employees within the Receita Federal. They stress the need for adjustments to the text of the law to address issues that have arisen over the past eight years, ensuring that the legislation is updated and effective.

The speaker notes a consensus among participants regarding the necessity to update outdated regulations that have been pending since 2017. They propose organizing a working meeting with government representatives to collaboratively refine the legislative text, ensuring it is clear, concise, and comprehensible, thus eliminating any existing ambiguities related to the various career paths within the Receita Federal.

The discussion highlights the presence of various servers in roles not aligned with their legal responsibilities, indicating a need for better organization within the structure. This situation necessitates a summary of the ongoing discussions to manage the complexity of the project effectively.

Dr. Gilberto Pereira, the executive vice president of the National Association of Federal Revenue Auditors (ANFIP), expresses gratitude for the opportunity to discuss the Federal Revenue Service. He notes that ANFIP, established 74 years ago, has a foundational focus on social security and the career of auditors, having merged with the Federal Revenue Service in 2007.

Dr. Pereira emphasizes the importance of a proposed bill aimed at restructuring the Federal Revenue Service in light of upcoming tax reforms. He mentions the challenge posed by the inclusion of two taxes, PIS and Cofins, and stresses the necessity of a competent technical team to address these challenges effectively.

The discussion reveals a concerning trend in the reduction of auditors within the Federal Revenue Service, dropping from 11,000 in 2013 to 7,000 currently. This decline is linked to a broader dismantling of the agency, which has resulted in increased fiscal renunciation and a lack of monitoring, leading to significant financial implications.

Dr. Pereira outlines the fiscal challenges faced by the government, noting a rise in public debt from 905 billion in 2015 to an estimated 1.757 trillion in 2024. He highlights the government's reliance on issuing public debt to finance expenditures, which undermines the strengthening of revenue collection mechanisms.

The need for restructuring the Federal Revenue Service is reiterated, with a call for a defined career structure that supports auditing work. Dr. Pereira advocates for a system that avoids conflicts among different career paths within the agency, aiming for increased revenue collection without raising tax rates.

The discussion highlights the necessity of public spending on free healthcare and education, which incurs significant costs. It emphasizes the need for a strong and well-structured Federal Revenue Secretariat, equipped with a sufficient number of auditors, akin to those in developed countries, to enhance tax collection without increasing the tax burden on citizens. The speaker advocates for a comprehensive audit system to ensure that all entities contribute fairly, thereby improving overall revenue.

The conversation shifts to the implications of government debt, particularly how the issuance of bonds to cover deficits leads to increased public debt. The speaker criticizes the financial market's influence, exemplified by a recent decision from Campos Neto that raised the national debt by 50 billion. This situation is described as an absurdity, with half of the national budget allocated to servicing debt interest, which severely impacts the Brazilian populace due to the autonomy of the Central Bank and its effects on financial speculation.

Dr. Tobias Morato Teixeira, representing the National Association of Union Lawyers, expresses gratitude to Deputy Paulo Guedes and emphasizes the importance of the proposed bill for the legal profession. He notes that the creation of a support staff plan for the Attorney General's Office (AGU) is crucial for enhancing efficiency and quality of work. He highlights the need for parity and equality among essential justice functions, pointing out that the AGU currently has the lowest ratio of staff to members compared to other justice institutions, with only 0.77 staff per member.

The discussion highlights the current state of legal servers, noting that the number of servers in the AGU (Advocacia Geral da União) is significantly higher than in other judicial institutions, with a ratio of 0.61. There is a pressing need to increase the number of servers to enhance the quality of work being done, as emphasized by Dr. Luciana.

In the previous year, the AGU achieved a remarkable financial result of R$ 1.4 trillion, which includes amounts that the Union avoided paying and revenues collected. In 2024 alone, the AGU recovered R$ 51 billion. Notably, the Mariana agreement generated an impact of R$ 130 billion, while the comprehensive review process has an estimated impact of nearly R$ 500 billion through innovative litigation reduction programs aimed at improving citizen access to justice.

Between 2019 and 2022, the AGU's litigation reduction program saved R$ 70 billion. This initiative is crucial for ensuring that citizens have better access to justice and reflects the AGU's commitment to modernizing its approach to legal disputes with the state.

The AGU faces significant challenges in retaining talent, with a 52% vacancy rate among new hires, as many leave for other careers within the justice system. This situation poses a threat to the quality of public advocacy and highlights the need for a strategic plan to retain skilled personnel, especially as 42% of current AGU servers are eligible for retirement.

The discussion also addresses the severely outdated compensation for AGU staff, which contributes to the high vacancy rates. There is a strong call for support in addressing these compensation issues to ensure the retention of talented professionals within the AGU.

The AGU operates with an annual budget of R$ 4 billion, yet it generates substantial positive impacts for the Brazilian state. The importance of public advocacy is emphasized, as it plays a critical role in the formulation and defense of public policies, ensuring legal security at federal, state, and municipal levels.

The AGU's work is crucial for the development and legal security of Brazil, with public lawyers involved in the creation of every federal public policy. The discussion underscores the need for a valued public advocacy system, which ultimately benefits the Brazilian populace by enhancing the effectiveness of public policies.

The speaker highlights significant progress in environmental justice, referencing participation in the Mariana Agreement, which has yielded important results for the people of Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, and Brazil as a whole. They emphasize the commitment to ensuring adequate treatment of environmental issues, which is a crucial focus alongside the defense of democracy and public policies. The speaker expresses a desire to continue this work with even greater quality and conditions, reiterating support for the regulation and creation of a career plan that has been a long-standing objective.

Dr. Selma Francisca Alves Cordeiro, the Director of Professional Development at the Advocacy General Union (AGU), acknowledges the presence of colleagues and expresses gratitude for their participation in the public hearing. She presents an overview of the AGU's workforce, noting that it was established through Law 10.480 in 2002, integrating personnel from various agencies. Since then, four public competitions have been held, revealing a vacancy rate of 52%, as many qualified personnel transition to other careers due to remuneration issues.

The AGU currently has 88 different job positions, which presents various operational management challenges. The ideal structure would consist of only two or three job categories. Presently, the AGU employs 474 higher-level professionals, 761 mid-level employees, and 18 auxiliary staff. There is a significant salary disparity of 68%, with higher-level employees starting at R$7,614, while others in the same organization may start at R$9,760, highlighting the inconsistencies within the AGU's remuneration structure.

Dr. Cordeiro compares the AGU's salary structure with that of other requisitioned careers, noting an average salary of R$5,900 for AGU employees versus R$10,065 for requisitioned staff performing similar roles. She emphasizes that the AGU's operations heavily rely on requisitioned personnel, with approximately 2,916 requisitioned employees, of which 46% are sourced from companies, further underscoring the challenges posed by salary disparities and reliance on external staffing.

In 2023, approximately 43% of federal employees are eligible for retirement, an increase from 32% the previous year. The current workforce includes 0.77 employees per member in the General Advocacy Unit (GU), with 61% of active members engaged in judicial support roles. This situation has led to increased administrative burdens on members, impacting their efficiency.

The TCU's 2008 ruling (Acórdão 1571) highlighted the need for staffing improvements in the GU, recommending that requisitions for personnel be made only as necessary for public interest. Additionally, the 2017 ruling (Acórdão 2138) indicated that 76% of units face severe staffing deficiencies, categorized as poor or regular, which exacerbates operational risks and increases workload for existing staff.

The privatization of Eletrobras in 2022 resulted in the loss of 100 employees overnight, underscoring the dependency on requisitioned staff. This loss has significant implications for the operational capacity of the GU, highlighting the critical need for a stable workforce.

Dr. Danton Freitas Azevedo, President of the Association of AGU Servers, emphasized the importance of the ongoing project for the welfare of AGU employees, noting that the struggle for recognition and support has persisted for over 30 years. He pointed out that the AGU is not solely composed of lawyers and prosecutors but also relies heavily on administrative staff who contribute significantly to its success.

Azevedo shared the story of Valente, a public servant who joined the AGU at its inception in 1993. Valente played a crucial role in the agency's development but felt that her contributions were not adequately recognized or rewarded as the AGU expanded, reflecting the broader issue of employee valuation within the organization.

In 2002, nine years after the establishment of the General Administration (GU), a personnel framework was created, which included a performance bonus. However, it wasn't until 2004 that Valente and other employees initiated a strike that led to the establishment of a specific bonus for GU, although a dedicated career path was still lacking. Since the creation of the personnel framework in 2002, there has been a continuous struggle for the establishment of a dedicated career for the administrative sector of GU.

Valente persuaded her colleague Bravo to take part in a competition for GU, demonstrating her belief in the organization. Both Valente and Bravo, along with numerous other employees, have played crucial roles in advancing state policies in Brazil, including initiatives like ENEM, PAC, and Bolsa Família. They have consistently questioned why such an important organization, with significant results for the Brazilian state, has not been able to implement a career path for its administrative sector.

Despite notable achievements in the finalistic area, such as remuneration adjustments and honorarium for legal costs, the administrative sector remains in deficit. Valente, Bravo, and other employees have raised concerns about the high number of ceded and requisitioned employees, which incurs significant costs for GU. The personnel framework currently consists of eight different remuneration structures, leading to disparities that need to be addressed to ensure equity among employees.

The discussion highlighted a concerning trend of employee turnover, with a staggering 75% attrition rate among those who joined in 2006. This loss of qualified personnel is attributed to the lack of retention policies, as many employees are leaving for other careers, including intermediate positions in other agencies and the judiciary. Additionally, there is a growing number of employees nearing retirement, which poses a risk of further destabilizing the administrative structure of GU.

A clarification was made regarding the staffing numbers presented earlier, indicating that the figure of 0.77 refers to the entire administrative framework of GU. When focusing solely on the 1,285 personnel within GU's framework, the ratio of employees to members is only 0.24, compared to 7.92 in the Federal Public Ministry and 14 in the TJDF. This stark contrast raises questions about the adequacy of staffing in GU, especially given its essential role in justice.

Valente, Bravo, and other employees have consistently questioned the significant remuneration disparities between GU and other agencies with similar responsibilities. For instance, while a higher-level employee in GU starts at R$7,600, counterparts in regulatory agencies begin at R$15,000, and those in IPEA at R$14,000. This raises concerns about the fairness and sustainability of the current remuneration structure within GU.

The speaker highlights a significant salary disparity within the Central Bank, noting that an analyst starts with a salary of 20,000, while other regulatory agencies offer starting salaries of 8,000 to 7,900. This discrepancy raises concerns about the viability of the current remuneration structure, particularly for intermediate-level employees.

The speaker emphasizes the need to establish a dedicated career structure for the administrative area of the AGU (Advocacia Geral da União), indicating that the current project (6788) does not address existing issues but is a step towards future improvements.

The discussion shifts to the policy of requisitions, referencing two agreements from the Tribunal de Contas from 2008 and 2017 that question the continuation of these requisitions. The speaker mentions that there are 2,916 requisitioned employees from public administration, with 1,583 from public companies, highlighting the financial burden of 149 million annually for these requisitions.

The speaker points out that the 149 million spent on requisitioned employees could alternatively fund the hiring of 1,630 higher-level employees or 2,439 intermediate-level employees, illustrating the inefficiency of the current requisition system.

The speaker expresses frustration over the salary inequity, noting that while the average salary for AGU employees is around 5,000, requisitioned employees earn over 10,000. This disparity creates a challenging work environment where AGU employees feel undervalued despite their responsibilities.

The speaker stresses that the effectiveness of the AGU's final activities is directly linked to a strong and recognized administrative area. They argue that without addressing the administrative collapse, the AGU cannot achieve its desired outcomes.

The speaker acknowledges the contributions of all AGU and PGFN (Procuradoria Geral da Fazenda Nacional) employees, referring to them as 'Valentes' and 'bravos.' They emphasize that the push for a career structure is not just an institutional request but a recognition of the hard work and dedication of the employees.

The speaker pays tribute to Francisco Rodrigues Lima, a historical figure in the AGU who dreamed of a structured career for employees. They express gratitude for his contributions and recognize his legacy in the ongoing fight for employee recognition.

The subsecretary of corporate management of the Receita Federal do Brasil emphasizes the essential role of the tax administration in the functioning of the state, as mandated by Article 37, Section 22 of the Constitution. Without tax administration, there would be no executive, legislative, or essential judicial functions.

The Receita Federal operates with remarkable efficiency, spending only 50 cents to collect 1 real, making it one of the most cost-effective tax administrations globally. This efficiency is crucial, especially in times of budget constraints, where maximizing available resources is essential.

The Receita Federal employs approximately 7,000 auditors, 6,000 tax analysts, and 2,700 administrative staff, highlighting a significant disparity in the workforce ratio. For every administrative staff member, there are five members of the tax career, which complicates operational efficiency.

The Receita Federal formally supports the creation of a support career as outlined in PLMS 788. The current structure, with over a hundred different roles, hampers management efficiency and operational effectiveness, making it difficult to conduct public competitions for administrative roles.

Integrating the administrative career into the Receita Federal would enhance operational benefits and performance. Currently, administrative colleagues operate in non-specific roles, complicating task management and requiring extensive mapping of processes to align competencies with activities.

The discussion emphasizes the need for a structured career path within the Receita Federal, particularly focusing on the administrative roles. The speaker highlights past issues with role misalignment and the importance of defining responsibilities to enhance efficiency. They advocate for the creation of a specific career in tax administration to empower administrative colleagues, enabling them to contribute more effectively to the agency's core activities. The urgency of addressing these structural issues is underscored, especially since the merger of the tax and social security agencies in 2007, which has led to a significant increase in the number of auditors, now exceeding 15,000. The speaker notes the necessity of delegating preparatory tasks to analysts to allow auditors to focus on their primary responsibilities.

The speaker expresses strong support for PL 6788, emphasizing its critical importance for the Receita Federal. They argue that resolving internal structural issues is essential for the agency's health and efficiency, as the current diversity of roles and competencies leads to wasted time that could be better spent on revenue collection and compliance. The speaker reassures that it is feasible to establish clear roles within the tax administration without creating conflicts, thereby ensuring that auditors and analysts can operate effectively for the benefit of the country.

Francinaldo Barbosa Cavalcante, President of the National Association of Systems Analysts, addresses the legislative assembly, highlighting the historical context of IT roles within the federal government. He notes that the PL 6788, which aims to structure the IT career, only recognizes a single position created in 2006, despite the existence of two similar roles established since the 1970s. This oversight affects approximately 500 active servers who perform equivalent functions but are not equally recognized in the proposed legislation. The speaker calls for a more inclusive approach to ensure fair representation and support for all IT professionals within the federal structure.

The speaker discusses the involvement of active, retired, and pensioned civil servants in the legislative process, particularly regarding PL 6788. They highlight the successful inclusion of 500 positions, including system analysts and data processing analysts, through a unanimous amendment despite facing resistance from other categories. This was seen as a significant victory in their ongoing struggle.

The speaker expresses frustration over being caught off guard by a new legislative instrument aimed at creating a technology career, which excluded their input. They recount the challenges faced when a provisional measure was sent without their involvement, leading to a rushed process that limited their ability to advocate for their interests.

The creation of the new technology career negatively impacted PL 6788, particularly for system analysts who were left out. The speaker argues that the correct approach would have been to append their roles to the new project, which was ultimately approved without their inclusion. They mention a subsequent agreement in the Senate, led by relator Jaques Wagner, to revisit the inclusion of system analysts in the newly created career.

The speaker emphasizes the need for the inclusion of system analysts in the technology career, asserting that their roles share the same responsibilities and salary structure as those included. They argue that there are no legal or political reasons for their exclusion, attributing it instead to the interests of other categories. They express gratitude for the opportunity to speak and urge the maintenance of the text that includes system analysts in the career.

As the discussion transitions to final considerations, the speaker suggests a structured approach to summarize the various demands and establish a work agenda for future collaboration. They express appreciation for the opportunity to engage in this dialogue and acknowledge the support from various unions and colleagues.

The discussion emphasizes the importance of distinguishing the roles of Dão and Alexandre from the auditing career, highlighting the need for formal recognition of their contributions to the Receita Federal do Brasil. They express a desire for clarity in the law regarding specific career paths and the challenges faced by employees, particularly in managing non-specific activities at border operations, such as baggage and vehicle inspections. The speaker notes that despite legal definitions, there are instances of function deviation, with personal experiences of legal processes for such deviations being shared.

Luciana articulates the significance of the careers under discussion in the legislative proposal (PL), asserting that these roles are not merely expenses but investments that yield substantial returns for public coffers, enabling the implementation of public policies. She proposes a collaborative effort to finalize and approve the text of the proposal, suggesting that the team work on it during January, aiming for a swift progression through the legislative process with the necessary negotiations with the Executive branch.

In response to Luciana, the Deputy commits to maintaining continuity in the legislative process by ensuring that the leadership remains engaged with the committee and the project. This commitment aims to preserve the focus established during the public hearing and facilitate the ongoing collaboration necessary for the proposal's advancement.

Alexandre expresses gratitude for the participation of all attendees and acknowledges the support of Deputy Paulo Guedes. He offers his assistance in technical matters related to the legislative proposal (PL 6788) and any other legislative needs, reinforcing the collaborative spirit of the event and the importance of collective efforts in legislative processes.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of collaborating to improve regulations for the benefit of Brazilian society, particularly in relation to PL 6788. They express support for restructuring or even creating a career dedicated to customs tax activities, while cautioning against creating new regulations that could lead to internal conflicts and legal uncertainties. The speaker highlights the essential role of the Receita Federal in state functioning, as noted by the Undersecretary of Corporate Management, and stresses the need for the agency to secure its resources as defined by the constitution to finance public policies.

The speaker points out that in the past year, while other public servants received salary adjustments, the Receita Federal's customs tax career was overlooked, indicating a lack of importance given by the government to the agency. They argue for the necessity of ensuring the support career is recognized, while also clarifying the distinct roles of administrative colleagues and tax analysts, particularly in border activities where role confusion has occurred.

The speaker congratulates the newly elected president of the National Tax Administration, expressing gratitude for their leadership and support. They acknowledge the recent electoral process and the satisfaction of receiving votes from colleagues to continue the management initiated by Isaac. The speaker reiterates their commitment to support the PL and the need for minor adjustments to avoid overlapping responsibilities among roles.

They mention a recent meeting where Minister Jorge Messias expressed personal interest in implementing the career structure, indicating a significant institutional backing for this initiative.

The speaker reflects on the historical context of the AGU, mentioning that several distinguished lawyers from the Union, including three currently serving on the Supreme Court, have shown support for the establishment of a formal career structure.
