Former president declares that the change in supervision is a “very clear way” for the government to monitor its “enemies”
The former president (PL) said this Wednesday (15.jan.2025) that the president (PT) is “imploding” o Pix.
Shared on social media, the former head of the Executive recalled that Pix was created by the Central Bank during his government and said that the change was positive for Brazilians, who began to move more money, and this caught the attention of the Lula administration .
“The current government, seeing all this volume in front of it, is looking for a way to tax it. He denies it, but it is a government that lies all the time. Remember Shein blouses? He said during the campaign that he wasn’t going to tax and ended up taxing”, declared.
Despite Bolsonaro talking about taxation, the measure announced by the Federal Revenue only included the monitoring of transactions above R$5,000 for individuals and R$15,000 for companies, without charging new charges.
Bolsonaro continued to criticize the change, saying it was a “pretty clear way” to monitor who is considered a “enemy” government or PT.
GOVERNMENT GOES BACK
The Secretary of the Federal Revenue, Robinson Barreirinhas, this Wednesday (15.Jan.2025) will overturn the regulatory instruction that increased supervision over transfers above R$5,000 from Pix to individuals.
Barreirinhas said that “unscrupulous people distorted the Federal Revenue normative act, harming many people in Brazil, causing panic, especially among the humblest population”. He stated that the measure became a “arma”.
According to the head of the Tax Authority, one of the reasons for the change is that “This has, unfortunately, sadly become a weapon in the hands of these criminals.”
