Senator Renan Calheiros (MDB-AL), chairman of the Joint Commission, criticized the way the rapporteur of the matter, Deputy Carlos Zarattini (PT-SP), decided to make changes in the text-the main one, about (bookmakers).
According to the parliamentarian Alagoas, the changes were negotiated with only, but their Senate pairs knew them by the press.
“You cannot approve, enjoy a provisional measure whose content, [que] The newspapers are saying, it was discussed only with the House. […] How are you going to approve in both homes if you didn’t talk to one? “He said.
Asked about the reduction of Bets rates, Calheiros said he has not yet talked to other senators about the subject.
“Me, yes [sou contra essa redução]. But this is not this question. It is that the need to participate in the process, the Senate will not approve a negotiation made by the House, never seen this here, “he added.
The lack of consensus caused Calheiros, on the morning of Tuesday (7), to suspend the session of the Joint Commission of the measure and adhe her vote for part of the afternoon. According to Zarattini, the decision was a request from Senate President David Alcolumbre (Brazil-AP Union).
Also in the morning a meeting was held between parliamentary leaders to address the subject and, according to the rapporteur, the senators did not present specific demands, just wanted to know the proposal better, because they felt distant from the discussion.
The text needs to be approved by the Board and the House and Senate until this Wednesday (8), or loses validity.
The Lula Government (PT) wanted to raise taxation on Bets’ gross revenue from 12% to 18%, but the rapporteur barred this proposal in the latest version of the text.
With the new changes in the report, Zarattini stated that the expected collection to 2026 fell from $ 20 billion to $ 17 billion. The expected original revenue in 2026 and 2027 was about R $ 35 billion. The MP was published by the Lula Government (PT) to compensate for a retreat from the Executive in an attempt to increase the IOF (Tax on Financial Operations), which suffered strong opposition.
