he new technology, which is being developed internally by the Federal Revenue Service under the Analytics Project, has been used for some time and has brought significant results in several areas of tax administration. Created by tax auditors and tax analysts, the platform uses artificial intelligence algorithms and complex network analysis to enhance the analysis of tax data and provide a considerable increase in the ability to detect fraud and illegalities, in addition to offering more security to decision-making and increasing the productivity of tax action. In international forums, such as one that took place in June in Sweden (Federal Revenue Service presents risk management tools at an informal OECD event in Sweden – Federal Revenue Service (www.gov.br) the platform has been presented as a demonstration of Brazil's ability to process data and obtain concrete results, including providing cooperation involving foreign tax administrations.

In one of the cases, with the use of this technology, tax authorities identified a potential scheme involving BRL 700 million moved by shell companies for the purchase of cryptocurrencies. Import and international remittance operations were identified with strong indications of tax irregularities and the commission of other crimes.
In another case, detected due to the use of the platform, it was possible to verify a tax evasion scheme, also involving money laundering for drug and arms trafficking, in which more than R$ 350 million were moved.
The two cases cited are under investigation by the Federal Revenue Service, in partnership with other agencies.
