A tax system consists of a set of laws and regulations that determine how taxes are collected and administered in a particular country. It is necessary to finance government activities and plays a fundamental role in ensuring the proper functioning of public services.

Tax systems vary greatly around the world, and one of the unique features of Brazil is the presence of numerous taxes levied and/or controlled by municipalities, making more than five thousand Brazilian cities entities with their own tax collection capabilities.

In this multi-taxpayer scenario, understanding what taxes should be collected and how to do it correctly is a constant challenge for businessmen, accountants and citizens in general. This misunderstanding of taxes often results in poor waste collection efficiency and can lead to mistakes made by taxpayers, especially in relation to municipal taxes such as IPTU (Town and Landed Property), waste collection charges and ITBI (Property Transfer Tax).

Contributo, through more than thirteen years of exclusive activity in the field of municipal taxation through training, support and development of legislation, has determined that one of the main bottlenecks in the efficiency of municipal tax collection is not the lack of legislation or the low cost of taxes. taxes, but rather the complexity of the tax system as a whole.

Adriano dos Santos, one of Contributo’s experts, emphasizes: “The mere mention of the word “tribute” already conveys to the general public the concept of complexity and difficulty. Thus, the main requirement for effective tax collection by a municipality is not related to the presence of numerous rules, but to the correct explanation of tax rules to taxpayers so that they can understand how to fulfill their tax obligations and understand the reason. for collecting every tribute.”

Based on practical experience accumulated over more than ten years of working with the daily requests of tax authorities and municipal taxpayers, Contributo has integrated its unique knowledge with artificial intelligence technology.

Using a tool with a simple interface but equipped with a complex algorithm, government officials are able to clarify tax doubts, controversial topics, rules and practical applications in a matter of seconds. At the same time, citizens, businessmen and accounting professionals can quickly and efficiently obtain clarification on tax requirements and processes. In fact, Contributo’s artificial intelligence will be able to assist taxpayers and municipal tax authorities in possible tax reforms at the national level.

The answers provided by Contributo’s AI are based on robust knowledge bases managed and reviewed by Contributo experts from various fields. This guarantees the reliability of the information.

Municipalities licensed to use Contributo AI have a dedicated and constantly updated tool available to their government tax agents. This tool aims to optimize internal requirements. For municipal taxpayers, AI will simplify service and, uniquely, will continuously learn from incoming requests through its unique learning methods.

Tax simplification and efficiency

Contributo’s artificial intelligence is available in two versions: one designed to answer questions from government officials on council tax topics, and the other to inform taxpayers about the flow and access of tax information of interest.

Contributo specialist Barbara de Geus Schnornberger Pereira talks about the taxpayer-oriented version. “By providing its taxpayers with exclusive artificial intelligence for tax assistance, the municipality will make it easier to obtain tax information, and the result will be simplified procedures for taxpayers and a reduction in repetitive requirements before municipal tax authorities.”

Both versions are included in the license with no restrictions on use or issues, and no restrictions on the number of users. These versions can be easily accessed via mobile phones, tablets or computers using any browser.

With differences such as speed of service to taxpayers and constant tax updates, Contributo AI stands out mainly because it is designed exclusively for municipal tax matters. The artificial intelligence system for taxes and municipal tax administration is duly registered with the National Institute of Intellectual Property – INPI and is the only tool for this purpose registered in Brazil. Registration with INPI covers all elements such as layout, algorithm, table structuring, programming and search method.

To access Contributo’s artificial intelligence for taxes and municipal tax administration, the municipality must obtain a license to use it. The monthly price is determined based on a detailed price study with full transparency, which varies depending on the size of each municipality.
