Secure Tax State Line: a Brazilian State Platform for Monitoring Roads, Designed to Support Tax Enforcement and Compliance

This paper presents a solution conceived to fight tax evasion, involving the application of analytical intelligence on data sources, including those from the control of road operations. Said solution is based on the capture of the license plate information obtained from 1,065 cameras located on the state highways in the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais. These data are enriched with information about electronic invoice documents and used in an analytical platform to provide insights about likely tax evasion. In the future, it will be possible to get license plate data from other cameras installed on federal roads in the said state, as well as make the license plate information available for other state government bodies, like the Civil and Military Police, Secretariat of Agricultural, State Department of Traffic (as the Department of Motor Vehicle is named in Brazil), among other government agencies. It will help carry out food safety inspections, fight crime and improve law enforcement.
