Braga maintained in his opinion the “lock” established by deputies to the reference rate for the new taxation so that it does not exceed 26.5%, and also the forecast of a first five-year assessment of standard taxation based on 2030 data.
The senator also promoted changes to the text sent by the deputies. It included, for example, weapons and ammunition in the list of products subject to higher taxation — the Selective Tax — as they are considered harmful to health or the environment.
