Tax Evasion

Bitel only makes available to Users a virtual space that allows them to communicate via the Internet to find a way to sell or buy items. It has no participation in the process of negotiation and perfection of the final contract between the Seller and the Buyer. Therefore, the parties are obliged to comply with the fiscal and tax obligations imposed by law.

It is established that the prices of the published products must be expressed with VAT included when applicable, in legal tender. Bitel may remove any publication whose price is not expressed in this way to avoid confusion or misunderstandings regarding the final price of the product.

Posts that demonstrate an intent to evade or avoid taxes in any way will be terminated.
