Parliamentarians Mobilize Against Unprecedented Tax Increases!
A Warning to the Brazilian Economy
This Wednesday (4), the Brazilian political scene is buzzing! A powerful manifesto was launched by 23 parliamentary fronts against a controversial government project that seeks to drastically increase the CSLL (Social Contribution on Net Income) and JCP (Interest on Equity) rates for companies, banks and insurance companies.
What's at Stake?
The Increase in Tax Rates:
- Banks: from 20% to 22%
- Insurance Companies: from 15% to 16%
- Other Companies: from 9% to 10%
- JCP: will be increased to 20%
The Mountain of Criticism
The parliamentary fronts, including groups from Entrepreneurship, Commerce and Services, Agriculture and Health, promise to fight fiercely so that this proposal is swallowed up by history. The consensus among them? This measure is considered inappropriate and inadequate, compromising the vitality of investment in infrastructure and technology, in addition to directly affecting job creation and competitiveness on the international stage.
"The lack of actions to reduce public spending and promote state efficiency worsens the situation", they state in a worrying note.
What Does This Mean for the Industrial Sector?
The coalition does not hold back on criticism:
Increase in the 'Brazil Cost': The project promises to weigh even more heavily on industrial sectors.
Revocation of the Right to Credit: This would establish "disproportionate costs for industrial activity".
Reduction in Public Policies: No clear benefits for society.
Complaints and Proposals
The manifesto does not stop there. In full indignation, the parliamentarians criticize the proposal for transferring inefficiency to taxpayers, intensifying the challenges faced by the Brazilian production system.
What Do They Defend? - Cuts in Public Spending
- Suspension of Public Examinations
- Prevention of Salary Increases for Public Servants
- Beware of the Fiscal Deficit and Budget Balance
- Discussion on Administrative Reform
The Battle is Just Beginning
The political battle is on! With a solid mobilization and a unified voice, the parliamentary fronts declare war on a project that they consider harmful to the future of Brazil. The coming weeks will determine whether an exorbitant tax increase will become a reality or whether it will be immortalized in the pages of history as a strategic error to be avoided!
