To avoid further wear, Centrão must support taxation of the richest in compensation for IR

Lira tries to agree not to have highlights of plenary; increased exemption range is still discussed

Center parties leaders estimate that the compensation formula for exemption from those who earn up to $ 5,000 will be maintained. The rapporteur’s opinion (PP-AL) followed the government’s suggestion, providing for the richest, which earn from R $ 1.2 million per year, will be taxed in 10% of income. The almost integral support of the must occur after the deputies were wear and tear for voting in favor of the proposal of amendment to the Constitution (PEC) of the armor.

The government already prepares a discourse for social networks, if the House rejects the exemption of IR or the taxation of the richest. The motto would be that parliamentarians are favorable to “more privileges and social injustices.” The understanding of center leaders is that if they are in favor of overthrowing compensation, the government will have ammunition for the resumption of the discourse of “rich against the poor” or “us against them”, leading parliamentarians to a new political wear with the electoral basis.

It is expected that the PL, the former president’s party, will present a highlight of plenary asking that the taxation of the richest be annulled, leaving a fiscal bomb on the government’s lap. Plenary highlights can modify base texts already approved by the majority. The centron, however, should not support, isolating the opposition.

Deputies have also been pressured to advance with the exemption of IR as soon as possible, as the Senate can vote on a similar proposal by the Senator (MDB-AM).

Arthur Lira still tries to negotiate with party leaders to prevent amendments not accepted by him in the base text to become highlights in the plenary. In these conversations, the possibility of expanding the exemption of IR is being studied, but it would be necessary to find a way to compensate for this increase in tax renunciation.

Center leaders claim that if there are highlights for exempting the exemption range to $ 7,000, the favorable vote will be practically inevitable. The deputy (PP-BA) suggests, for example, that the total exemption is maintained up to $ 5,000, with progressive discount up to $ 7,590. Today, Lira’s text foresees progressive discount up to $ 7,350. To compensate for the increase, staff suggests an additional CSLL charge for banks by 5%.

The measure, however, could make the beginning of the new exemption unfeasible to 2026, as it is necessary to wait for the NOVENTE call, a kind of prior notice of 90 days before a new tax passes the following year. The 10% rate for the richest should generate $ 34 billion in collection per year. With the exemption and progressive discount provided for in the Lira report, the annual resignation could reach R $ 31.7 billion, with the loss of states and municipalities.
