In reality, the new rule of the Federal Revenue Service amends Article 6 of By-law No. 1,639 – also from the federal tax department, in which it is drafted a paragraph stating that:

"It is authorized to make data available by providing partial or full replicas, no later than 31 July 2019, the applicant body or entity shall then adopt the sharing data through a blockade or another authorized by Cotec. "

Lawyer Amanda Lima, C. published in Linkedin that there is a misconception about the use of the term Blockchain by the fact that" when reading the new project, only certain entities will have access to CPF information, which eliminates one of the characteristics of blockchain technology "

In this publication, Lima states that Blockchain has two fundamental characteristics: the immutability of recordings and the dissemination of information , which generates transparency and, where appropriate, the sharing of data takes place "through the authorized network Blockchain."

The lawyer spoke with the Bitcoin Portal about the problems of interpretation that this new standard could pose, since there is no Blockchain with a transparency halved.

"If they would use the information of are closed networks and this is not not Bl ockchain. The government itself does not call blockchain this type of network premissionada. I do not know why the tax authorities were treating the same way if the central bank did not use the Blockchain name, but without any problem calling the wireless network or the authorized network, because what it (the central bank ) finds interesting, it is the immutability of the data, "said Lima.

Blockchain or DLT

The DLT mentioned by the lawyer is the acronym used for the term English Distributed Ledger Technology, which can be defined as a kind of distributed ledger that can be used by governments.

In the UK, the UK has issued a document indicating the government's interest in this issue

According to this document, the motivation papers may contain records of any or all of those types in which only a limited number, or even one person, is authorized to do so

Such is the question asked by the lawyer. e DLT does not mean Blockchain itself. This is one of its characteristics.

"When you make a permission, you build a technology similar to the blockchain, called DLT, and it brings one of the principles of immutability, and it puts people in those nodes of these networks into opposites. who will not band together to defraud an information or a person who, in theory, would be trustworthy, like the governments.

However, Lima baderts that the problem is only a matter of "nomenclature". of the market, for the most part, do not accept this type of confusion.They understand that "to be blockchain as is the case of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Decred must have two principles immutability and distributed transparency" "One of the answers from Linkedin's publication, attorney Rafael Steinfeld, said the platform to be used by the Internal Revenue Service would be IBM's HyperLedger.

.

"For information only, it has already been confirmed that the platform to be used by RFB, SERPRO and BACEN is IBM's Hyperledger solution, ie it will be one and the same. only BNDES has a project focused on the Blockchain. "

Steinfeld said it was good" to clarify things about the difference between blockchain and a virtually distributed and centralized database such as Hyperledger ".

Problems Federal Revenue

The new order may have to deal with a new problem. The Data Protection Act, which comes into force only in February 2020, clearly states in its Article 2 that "the protection of personal data" is based on "respect for privacy" and "the inviolability of privacy".

When the new Federal Revenue Regulations establish that data of individuals can be shared between bodies and government entities, this implies that privacy and intimacy can not be fully exploited.

No information introduced in this DLT. can be distributed among these bodies, hence a new question: would the state not violate the privacy of individuals when obtaining this personal information and their dissemination between his organs?
