Overview

• Rio’s Assembly removed Governor Cláudio Castro’s Refis bill from the plenary agenda to review 127 amendments targeting discount levels, precatórios usage, and immediate effect.
• The state proposal grants up to 95% forgiveness on interest and charges for lump-sum payments, offers scaled discounts for installments, and includes special terms of up to 180 months for companies in judicial recovery.
• The bill allows offsetting debts with precatórios, including third-party titles, covers tax and non-tax debts overdue through February 28, 2025, and is projected by the Executive to raise R$2–3 billion.
• Lawmakers including Luiz Paulo, Elika Takimoto, Flávio Serafini, Yuri Moura, Carlos Minc, and Dani Balbi criticized the design, with calls to cap discounts and warnings of potential legal challenges.
• Separately, municipalities advanced their own programs: Campinas published a 2025 Refis with up to 70% relief on interest and fines and up to 96 installments via online adhesion, while Álvares Machado, Assis, Lins, and Tupã opened or extended plans offering discounts that reach 100% for payment at sight.
