Bus/Financial | | Portuguese term or phrase: arrecadação/cobrança | | Dois departamentos distintos do banco. O problema é que em inglês os dois departamentos aparecem como 'Collection'. Can you help me? |
| | | tax collections, collections | Explanation:
arrecadação is the collection of taxes on behalf of the government, one of the major business for any Brazilian bank (John, forgive me if I am saying the obvious, but I do not know how familiar with Brazilian banking practice you are): we do not send checks to government agencies, we pay our taxes to banks and they transfer the money to the government.
Cobranças, on the other hand, is just collecting bills on behalf of clients of the bank |

Arrecadacao is causada por uma arrecadação significativa de impostos federais ou por conta da liquidação da venda de câmbio pelo BC, a mesa de operações realiza operações de compra de títulos que podem ser revendidos no dia seguinte.
Do you refer to the Banks\'s Exchange Dept? Or the Tax collection?
ie: Federal Revenue Collection Document DARF (documento de arrecadação de receitas federais) (pn)
despesas de cobrança, de arrecadação= collection expenses
arrecadação fare collection (?)
or??

Explanation:
In the first, the department collects taxed on behalf of the government.
In the second, they charge clients for handling all the expenses/charges for financial securities handling.

agree with Danilo, but in many cases, they are financial transactions, no?
