O que \u00e9 a PTAX e como funciona<\/p>"},"content":{"rendered":"

Trading in general is a practice that has money transactions as one of its most important aspects and, when we?re talking about International Trade, the money flow is constant and involves many different currencies each with their own values. The PTAX is a vital part of the financial aspect of international trade and very important to understand the value of foreign currencies compared to the value of the Brazilian Reais and how this impacts the country?s relationship with the trading market.

O que \u00e9 PTAX<\/strong><\/h2>

It?s a tax used as a reference to determine an average equal value between Brazilian Reais and foreign currencies. In other words, it tells us ?How many reais a foreign currency cost.?, and it applies to all currencies, each of them having their own PTAX value based on their market status.<\/p>

It?s important to note that this is not the same as the exchange rate: While the value of the exchange rate changes according to the market during the course of an entire day, once the PTAX?s daily value is stablished and disclosed, it doesn?t change again before the next day.<\/p>

Muitas empresas, incluindo transportadoras, usam um spread para estabelecer o valor usado em suas transa\u00e7\u00f5es comerciais. Esse spread \u00e9 o valor da PTAX acrescido de um imposto extra que tem valor estabelecido pela pr\u00f3pria empresa.<\/p>

Como funciona?<\/strong><\/h2>

Based off the buying and selling operations made through the day by the institutions that are a part of Brazil?s National Finances System, the Central Bank of Brazil makes four consultations a day during a specific time window to determine an average between the values involved in the operations.<\/p>

Os dados necess\u00e1rios s\u00e3o informados pelos concession\u00e1rios, sendo realizadas quatro consultas, das 10h \u00e0s 13h10. Ap\u00f3s a \u00faltima consulta, o banco calcula o valor m\u00e9dio entre as opera\u00e7\u00f5es de compra e venda e o valor da PTAX \u00e9 compartilhado com o mercado e serve de refer\u00eancia para as transa\u00e7\u00f5es monet\u00e1rias.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
