The proposal of a minimum rate of 10% for those who earn around R $ 600 thousand per year, in the range above R $ 50 thousand per month, is one of the alternatives that aim to balance.

The Minister of Finance, regarding the fact had already elucidated the flexible point of this issue. “People who today have income and do not pay tax, an income of over $ 50,000 per month, or $ 600,000 per year, will pay the minimum.

President Lula, in turn, stressing campaign promises and endorsed by Minister Rui Costa, reaffirmed the urgency to give the project a comfort and tax rest. “We are doing, along with this containment policy, an income policy to try to set the house. We are exempt people who earn up to $ 5,000 a month of paying income tax, which is more than 70 million people. We are doing something correct, fair. And obviously, we will have to charge a little more tax from the richest people, which is normal. There is no problem ”said the president. “This goes to the Senate, to the House, we will work to try to see if we can make this country a little fairer, more human, more fraternal”complemented.

In symmetry Lula, the Minister of the Civil House, Rui Costa, corroborating with the government ideal brought to light a recent past with a view to the country's future fiscal. “Our commitment is to make this country grow sustainably, lasting, long -term. This measure of income tax exemption was part of the president's election campaign. The people legitimized the measure. In possession, the president reaffirmed the commitment ”commented the minister.

Approval

The weight of the project on “The Shoulders” of Congress is proportional to the caution pointed out by Unafisco experts. With the main projects of the spending package approved last week, there is a sign of alert alert, after concern by the financial market about the fiscal waiver with compensations coming directly from the rich pocket.

“The fiscal package has been sent to the National Congress and it has sovereignty to change things. No one in this country, no one, I will repeat: no one in this country has more fiscal responsibility than me. This is not the first time I am president of the Republic. I already ruled this country and delivered the country growing 7.5%. I delivered this country with the highest salary.said President Lula in a recent interview with TV Globo's Fantástico show.

While the project does not be effective, and brings relief to the bank balance of the most interested taxpayer portion in the happy ending of this saga, everything is normal in the provision of future IRPF statements. The government says that the fiscal reflex will have a positive effect, but until then, everyone follows dancing the music of government suspense under the figure of the distrust of the financial market.
