The collection of the federal government had a real increase of 11% in the first half of this year and reached a record level of the historical series started in 1995, at R$ 1.090 trillion, informed the Federal Revenue this Thursday (21), in a period marked by the normalization activity after the pandemic and inflationary effect on taxation.
The rise was strongly influenced by the growth in revenue from the fuel sector, under the impact of the increase in oil prices on the international market generated by the War in Ukraine.
If only the collection managed by the Federal Revenue is considered, which includes the collection of taxes within the competence of the Union, there was a real increase of 9% in the semester. In the period, the collection of the fuel sector jumped 192.54%, giving the greatest absolute contribution (R$ 34.807 billion) to the increase.
On the other hand, revenues managed by other bodies, which are mainly affected by royalties from oil production, increased 56.73% above inflation in the period.
In the first six months of the year, earnings from royalties totaled BRL 51.012 billion, compared to BRL 36.282 billion in the same period in 2021, which represents a real increase of 40.6%.
In the month of June, the collection had a real increase of 17.96% over the same month last year, to R$ 181.040 billion, the highest level for the month of the historical series adjusted for inflation, started in 1995.
