Armament will be available only to those who act on functions considered ‘functional risk’
It has established new guidelines for granting weapons to fiscal auditors and tax analysts. The weaponry will be available only to those who act on “functional risk” functions, which include activities such as tax inspection and customs repression. This classification refers to situations that may threaten the physical safety of servers. For employees who do not fit the main criteria, there is a possibility to request the possession of weapons through a specific administrative process. The analysis of this request will be the responsibility of the Federal Revenue Superintendent, which should revise the authorization every three years.
Obtaining the possession of weapons is conditional on approval in the Short Weapon Training Course (CFAC), which is coordinated by the General Coordination to Combat Smuggling and Dressing (COREP). In addition to supervising the course, COREP also defines the safety and handling standards of weapons, as well as managing the renewal of firearm authorization (APAF) and regulating the use of shooting booths. The new rules were valid from June 5, 2025, marking a significant change in security policies for the IRS servers.
