Tax measures include postponement for a few months of taxes and federal taxes to companies impacted by tariffs, something that has already been done in Rio Grande do Sul after the floods and the expansion of Reintegra.
Reintegra is a mechanism that seeks to reimburse exporting companies by residual taxes throughout their productive chains. It is a way of minimizing the impacts of tax costs and increasing the profitability of exporting companies.
The CNI (National Confederation of Industry) argues that the Reintegra rate is raised to 3%, while the government works with the possibility of 2%.
