Massis's municipal and federal tax debts total R$28.4m, TV says | OneFootball

A survey conducted by SBT News, based on certificates and official records from the São Paulo City Attorney’s Office and the Office of the Attorney General of the National Treasury (PGFN), reveals that São Paulo president Harry Massis and his companies owe a total of R$ 28.4 million to the federal government and the São Paulo city government.

A businessman in the parking sector with a strong presence in the downtown area and Jardins, Massis took over as the club’s salaried president in January 2026, following the resignation of Julio Casares after the approval of the impeachment request against the former president by the Deliberative Council.

Breakdown of Debts by Level of Government

The investigation details the tax history of the business group, pointing to changes in corporate names, replacement of partners, and the opening of new corporate taxpayer registrations at the same addresses over the course of the buildup of liabilities. Of the seven corporate registrations in which Massis appears as a partner, six have records in active debt collection — the exception is a food business.

The total of R$ 28.4 million is structured as follows:

Federal Debt (PGFN): R$ 17.2 million accumulated among the group’s companies.

Municipal Debt (PGM-SP): R$ 10.3 million in taxes owed by the legal entities (ISS, Establishment Inspection Fee, and fines for failure to comply with ancillary obligations).

Property Tax (Individual): R$ 817,400 related to two properties owned by Massis.

Main Debtor Companies

Massis Garagens (founded in 2018 as R.M.O. Estacionamentos) stands out as the conglomerate’s biggest debtor, concentrating R$ 10.2 million in municipal debts and R$ 9.3 million in federal debts. Harry’s Estacionamentos, meanwhile, has liabilities of R$ 1.3 million.

Three of the group’s five garages — Sissam Estacionamentos, H. Massis Junior Estacionamentos, and Harry’s Estacionamentos — have had their registrations declared unfit by the Federal Revenue Service, together accounting for R$ 14.17 million of the overall total.

Redirection of Debts to the Individual

Of the amounts registered in the Federal Active Debt, R$ 4.31 million were redirected directly to Harry Massis Junior’s personal taxpayer ID through 32 registrations. The largest share of this amount — R$ 2.36 million — refers to Simples Nacional obligations linked to the companies, while R$ 1.11 million relates to unpaid social security contributions. The most recent assessments date from 2025.

Of the total R$ 10.3 million owed to the São Paulo city government, R$ 9.03 million is already the subject of tax enforcement proceedings in court.

Defense Position

In a statement sent to the report, lawyer Ricardo Raduan, the group’s legal representative and tax specialist, said that the vast majority of the listed debts have been properly paid in installments and that payments are up to date.

According to the defense, the liabilities arose mainly from the economic downturn during the Covid-19 pandemic and are undergoing administrative review due to the complexity of the national tax system, while reaffirming the companies’ commitment to governance and compliance rules.
