Abstract

Goods and services trading taxation is the main source of revenue for Brazilian states, therefore its evasion directly affects public services. A particular case of evasion concerns the issuance and use of cold invoices – ones referring to transactions registered at Tax Administration, but which did not actually take place. Following the proposal by Mathews et al. [16], this work reports the application of classic supervised learning algorithms to identify circular trading behaviors involving taxpayers from Brazilian State of Goias, through the analysis of their goods and services trading operations. Experiments showed similar results to the original ones, but pointing to k-Nearest-Neighbours (and not Logistic Regression) as the most accurate technique for this purpose – given Brazilian context’s characteristics.
