SAO PAULO (Reuters)-The Brazilian government discusses reducing ethanol import tax, with the objective of improving its internal popularity and pacifying the relationship with the United States, according to the newspaper O Globo on Friday.
According to the report, the idea would be to present the reduction of the fee as a counterpart to the collection of a 25% surcharge on steel and aluminum in the United States, in an attempt to exception to the rule for Brazil.
In addition, it would be a way to avoid a surcharge to Brazilian ethanol exports and to help reduce the price of fuel in the domestic market.
