Mayor says the agenda should not be “good” to the country; Government wants to tax those who earn more than $ 50,000 per month
The president of the House of Representatives, (Republicans-PB), signaled this Thursday (4.FEV.2025) that government projects aimed at increasing the collection will face resistance among the deputies.
“Perhaps the good schedule for the country is not this, the agenda is able to deal with fiscal responsibility for other aspects, to review the issue of spending a little, more responsibility with expenses, because that is what the entire private sector is expecting to be able to enter ”the congressman told journalists at his party headquarters, Republicans. The bench elected (MG) as the new party leader in the House.
As part of the tax package, the government has announced that it will send a project to exempt from IRPF (Individual Income Tax) this year who receives up to $ 5,000. The Ministry of Finance, led by Fernando Haddad, studies compensate for this tax waiver with the taxation of those who earn more than $ 50,000 per month.
There will be a minimum rate of 10% for this IRPF group, which will focus on any kind of financial gain such as profit, dividends, rents, bonuses and others.
The mayor also stated that the moment requires caution, especially in the face of the international scenario, with the election of Republican Donald Trump in the United States. “We have the election of the new president of the United States, who comes with the government of somewhat strong decisions in the economic sense, we will have to wait for the consequences of this in Brazil.”he declared.
The federal revenue broke record in 2024. He added R $ 2.71 trillion from January to December, the largest real value – corroded by inflation – since the beginning of the historical series, which began in 1995.
Despite being a record, the collection should not avoid the deficit in public accounts, when government expenses exceed revenues.
