Who has ever wanted to take part in an auction like the ones we see in films and series?
If you've always wanted to live this experience, know that it may be closer than you think.
That's because there is an event of this type called an IRS auction!
Through this feature, you can get great deals and save a lot.
And if you’re not so familiar with this type of transaction and are a little lost about how it works, don’t worry!
In today's content, you will learn what the Federal Revenue auction is, how it works and how to participate.
What is the Federal Revenue auction?
Have you ever imagined purchasing different types of products at prices that are well below the normal market value? This is the Federal Revenue auction.
These auctions are events held so that the thousands and thousands of products are seized before entering the country.
Among the main products that are seized are products from people who return from an international trip with their purchase limit exceeded and do not declare certain objects, and orders placed illegally by buyers who hope to circumvent the system and not pay the taxes due on the items.
In both cases, these products – which would enter our country irregularly through airports and even land borders – are of different categories and are divided into lots so that bids can be made by interested parties.
Although there are several types of auctions that take place in person, the entire Federal Revenue auction process is done digitally.
It is also worth remembering that the products available at auction are not subject to exchange and/or warranty for any problems or repairs.
And the Federal Revenue Service also does not offer any type of guarantee regarding the functioning of the auctioned devices.
In this edition, the products that will be part of the auction are separated into approximately 158 lots.
What products are part of the Federal Revenue auction?
This is another question that generates a lot of curiosity among the public who are not yet familiar with how the Federal Revenue auction works.
As these products are the result of seizures carried out throughout the year, it is not possible to define with certainty the quantity and exactly what types of products are being auctioned.
It all depends on the number of seizures made.
But, in general, this type of Federal Revenue auction usually includes items such as cell phones from different brands (such as Apple and Samsung), iPads, notebooks, game consoles (such as the Nintendo Switch), cables, chargers, keyboards and so on.
Moving away from the technology area, another category of products that tends to appear a lot in these auctions are jewelry, electric scooters and even luxury cars.
And the values of the auctioned products start at R$1,400.
Who can participate in the Federal Revenue auction?
Another issue that often generates a lot of doubt among people who are not yet part of this type of activity is in relation to who can or cannot participate in this type of event.
If this is your question, know that the Federal Revenue auction has no restrictions, being open to both individuals and legal entities.
To participate in the event, you must be over 18 years old – as this is a type of financial transaction – and have a valid digital certificate.
In the case of those who are part of the legal entities category, they must also be registered in the National Registry of Legal Entities (CNPJ) and in good standing.
However, even though it is a type of event that can be accessed by different audiences, it is necessary to go through some steps before having the opportunity to participate in the Federal Revenue auction.
It is important to highlight this part so that the citizen who is interested in participating knows exactly what needs to be done for everything to go well!
Another point worth mentioning is in relation to the process of purchasing items.
It is important to remember that items purchased by individuals are not released for commercial purposes.
Items acquired through purchases made by legal entities are different. People in this category can choose the intended use of the product: it can be for personal use, for consumption, for industrialization or even for commerce.
This shows that, in a way, this type of Federal Revenue auction can be more advantageous for legal entities (PJ) than for individuals (PF).
How to participate in the Federal Revenue auction?
Finally, we come to the question that gave rise to all of today’s content!
After all, how can you participate in the Federal Revenue auction?
In order for the citizen to be eligible to participate in the event, it is necessary to access the eCAC (Virtual Taxpayer Service Center), of the Federal Revenue Service.
Remembering that, at this point, you need to use your digital certificate to log into the platform.
After logging in, the visitor must access the 'Service Options' tab and then 'Participate in the Federal Revenue's Electronic Auction'. Then, just submit your bids.
They must be made from July 18th until July 27th. The auction itself takes place on June 28th at 10am.
Conclusion
Even though it is a very advantageous option – since the prices charged are usually well below what is currently found on the Brazilian market – it is necessary to know how to weigh the pros and cons of this type of negotiation.
After all, as we have already mentioned here, the Federal Revenue Service does not offer any type of guarantee regarding the functioning of the devices.
Therefore, before making any proposal or bidding on products, it is necessary to take all the points into consideration. This way, you will be able to make the best deal without having any headaches.
