Senate President justified the postponement by the complexity of the matter and the need to comply with senators’ requests, granting an additional seven -day deadline so that they can dialogue with the rapporteur
The Senate President, (Union-AP), announced on Wednesday (24) the postponement of the vote of the second stage of the regulation of tax reform for next Tuesday (30). The decision aims to allow senators to have more time to analyze and discuss the 156 amendments already presented to the text, which was approved by the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ). Alcolumbre justified the postponement by the complexity of the matter and the need to comply with senators’ requests, granting an additional seven-day deadline so that they can dialogue with the rapporteur, Senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM), on possible suggestions for the bill. “No one will change the processing of the story if we wait,” said the Senate President, ensuring that the bill will be “imprisonment” on next week’s agenda.
The deadline for the presentation of amendments to the text will be closed at midnight on Wednesday. Alcolumbre pointed out that at the CCJ, the project received more than 500 amendments, and keeping the deadline open until next Tuesday would result in a similar number of proposals, which “it would be impossible to reach a good understanding.”
The Bill of the Second Stage of Tax Reform (PLP 108/2024) has as its main objective to establish the rules for the Committee of the Tax on Goods and Services (IBS) – the new States and Municipal Tax – and the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS) – the new federal tax. These taxes will become the main ones to focus on consumer relations in the country from 2027, with a testing phase in 2026.
The text approved in the Senate CCJ brought a series of modifications compared to the version approved by the House of Representatives. Among the main changes are the addition of new rules for the “inheritance tax”, the regulation of the investment and heritage funds taxation, and the inclusion of taxi drivers and motorcycle taxi drivers in the exemption granted to Nano-entrepreneurs.
