The leader of the government in the Senate, Jaques Wagner (PT-BA)was appointed rapporteur of the complementary bill (PLP) of the fiscal package, which brings new triggers for the fiscal framework and deals with rules for contingency and blocking of parliamentary amendments. The text was approved on Wednesday (18) by the Chamber of Deputies.
Deputies changed the blocking rule for parliamentary amendments, which will now only apply to non-mandatory amendments. The deputies also maintained the repeal of the law that established the Mandatory Insurance for the Protection of Victims of Traffic Accidents (SPVAT), formerly DPVAT.
The PLP also brings new triggers to the fiscal framework. For example, if a deficit is found in public accounts from 2025 onwards, the granting, expansion or extension of incentives or tax benefits is prohibited and a real increase in personnel expenses and charges of each Power and autonomous bodies above 0 is prohibited until 2030. .6%, except in the case of judicial concession.
The two triggers will also be triggered if, from 2027 onwards, there is a reduction in discretionary expenses compared to the previous year.
The PLP determines that, between 2025 and 2030, the financial surplus of public funds can only be used to pay off the debt. The government project provided that the use of resources would be freely applied. Átila Lira reduced, however, the number of funds covered by the measure.
According to the government’s proposal, there would be eight funds listed, but the rapporteur, in negotiations with the Ministry of Finance, maintained only five: the Defense of Diffuse Rights (FDD), National Security and Traffic Education (Funset), Army funds , Aeronautical and Naval. The National Anti-Drug Fund (Funad), the Merchant Marine Fund (FMM) and the National Civil Aviation Fund (Fnac) were excluded with the justification that their resources “are used for important investments”.
