The proposal to end all tax exemptions for a six-month revaluation was presented at the conciliation meeting between the mayor, Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), and the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, on Monday night. On Friday, Maia went further and defended cuts “in muscle” to adjust public accounts.
The proposal was presented by Senate Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), who suggested that, after six months, the exemptions that make sense be instituted again. Calheiros was one of the organizers of the dinner at the home of the Minister of the Court of Accounts (TCU), Bruno Dantas.
The cut of exemptions has been discussed for many years by the economic area, but it faces political difficulties to move forward. Now, the issue returns to the debate in the discussions of fiscal adjustment to guarantee the Citizen Income.
The end of tax exemptions does not open space in the expenditure ceiling (the rule that prevents the growth of expenses above inflation), but allows the compensation required by the Fiscal Responsibility Law (LRF) in the creation of expenses permanent.
TO Stadium / BroadcastSenator Kátia Abreu (PP-TO) said that the unanimity of the meeting was the creation of the Renta Ciudadana sin roof. “The roof is not negotiable. The solutions will not be electoral, “he said. According to her, the convergence of three points was discussed: administrative and tax reforms, the Proposal for Constitutional Reform (PEC) of the federative pact and the Citizen Income program. For the senator, “untouchables” and “privileges” will not be accepted in the measures that Congress will pass.
