Ex-candidate promises tax reform in Brazil within six months

At the event that called for industry dialogue with candidates for power in the upcoming elections, organized by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), a senator from the Brazilian Democratic Movement acknowledged the importance of the productive sector to restore the country’s growth.

He highlighted the importance of establishing a policy of industrial development coordinated by the federal government with clear objectives and in line with international best practices and a low-carbon economy.

The approval of the Proposal to Amend the Constitution (PEC) 110/2019, which amends taxes on consumption, was presented as one of the priorities of the pre-candidate to counter the so-called cost of Brazil.

Tibet also defended that the regional development fund discussed in the proposal would be constitutional, so as not to exacerbate social inequality in the North and Northeast.

“We need reform that pushes less consumption to affect less needy populations, simplifies and reduces bureaucracy, reduces the burden on the legal entity, and through effective, transparent and fast taxation, we can resume development,” he noted in his expanded speech.

For the lawyer, “The big problem today is that Brazil does not know where it wants to go. It does not plan. It has no work. There is no program and no goals.”

On the other hand, he called for more efficient environmental licensing rules in order to ensure legal certainty and create a regulated carbon market, and this is part of the green opportunities for the country’s international entry.

“We have what the world does not have. The Amazon jungle, with terms to make money from carbon credits and to attract foreign money for private investment,” he said.

For his part, in an interview with the productive sector, Democratic Action Party candidate Ciro Gomez confirmed that if elected, he would revitalize the Ministry of Industry and Trade, a portfolio that was absorbed into the government of Jair Bolsonaro. The Ministry of Economy.

He stressed that “without a strong industry leading the center of development, a nation will not develop.”

Since 1994, CNI has submitted its proposals for the coming years to the demonstrators to power. These proposals appear in 21 documents sent to political parties.

So far, former President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, the candidate of the Workers’ Party, is leading all opinion polls towards the vote that Bolsonaro intends to re-elect.
