Vasco under pressure: government moves to halt deal over tax issues | OneFootball

Vasco’s judicial recovery gained a new chapter this Wednesday (15). The Federal Government filed a petition in the case pending before the 4th Corporate Court of Rio de Janeiro, alleging that the club is not in tax compliance and has tax debts that exceed half a billion reais.

According to the document, Vasco would have a tax debt of R$ 509,172,141.96 and still does not have a Debt Clearance Certificate (CND), even while in negotiations for a possible agreement with the National Treasury.

In light of this, the Federal Government requested that the club prove its tax compliance through a settlement or installment plan of the debt. Until that happens, the federal body asks the judge in charge of the case to suspend the ratification of the judicial recovery plan recently approved by creditors.

The request comes less than a week after Vasco obtained broad approval — with 97.7% of the votes — for the debt repayment plan within the scope of the judicial recovery, considered a historic step for the club’s financial restructuring.

The information was released by journalist Danilo Danteskoo, from the profile Expresso 1923, on X (formerly Twitter).
