Without the help of the government of President Jair Bolsonaro, the Constitution and Justice Commission of the Chamber (CCJ) of Deputies approved the admissibility of the tax reform.
The proposal provides for the replacement of five taxes by one, the IBS, within ten years. The objective is to simplify and make more transparent the collection of taxes.
The text, authored by deputy Baleia Rossi (MDB-SP) and the economist Bernard Appy, director of the Center for Fiscal Citizenship (CCIF), goes to the special committee without any help from the government, that now is seen as an impediment to the adoption of reforms.
The Chamber of Deputies, therefore, decided to carry out its own economic agenda without any articulation by the government of Jair Bolsonaro.
On the day Congress began to vote on a proposal for tax reform, the Federal Revenue Secretary of the current government, Marcos Cintra, declined an invitation to discuss the issue in the Chamber of Deputies. Thus, the only government representative in the area decided would not participate in the debate and approval of the reform made today in the CCJ.
After approval of the text in the CCJ, Cintra said that the government will support tax reform approved today. Cintra's speech was seen as paradoxical.
