TRF-1 Reportedly Upholds Suspension of AFRMM Under Repetro

Sector press and legal analysts report that the Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region (TRF-1) upheld the suspension of the AFRMM levy for imports under the Repetro regime, ruling that Portaria 72/2008 exceeds the scope of Law 10.893/2004 and cannot impose tax obligations not expressly stated in law.

While the decision reinforces legal certainty for the oil & gas sector, the official court document has not yet been published. We will update once the full ruling becomes available.
