In addition, Conventions No. 3/2015 and No. 6/2015 authorize the States of Paraná, Maranhão and the Federal District to implement a Tax Amnesty Program to waive or reduce penalties and interest related to ICMS debts, regardless of whether or not assessed or enrolled among collectible debts, including those which are subject to lawsuits.
