The União Brasil candidate for the presidency of the Republic, Soraya Thronicke, said today (30) that the implementation of her proposal for a single federal tax (IUF) will exempt workers with a salary of up to five salaries from the Income Tax (IR). minimum (R$ 6,060). The IUF, according to the candidate, will be 1.26% on financial transactions and will replace 11 federal taxes.
“This proposal will exempt all Brazilians from the social security contribution. And it will relieve the business community by around 20%,” said Thronicke, at an event promoted by the National Union of Trade and Services Entities (Unecs), in Brasília.
“It can mean, for those who earn only a minimum wage, which is already exempt from income tax, only 8% more in their pocket. But be honest with me, can you give your employees an 8% raise today, for everyone?”, asked the candidate to the entrepreneurs.
Soraya Thronicke stressed that, once elected, she will be better able to get the proposal off the ground, since the change in taxes needs to be approved by the National Congress. “When you have the government in your hand, you can articulate better. We also understand that information is lacking [sobre o IUF]. There are many proposals on the way and whoever controls the two houses there is not necessarily focused on that”.
According to the Federal Single Tax bill, prepared by economist Marcos Cintra and candidate for vice-presidency on Thronicke’s ticket, the requirements for issuing invoices, filling in collection guides, income or asset declarations would be eliminated.
According to the proposal, with the adoption of the IUF, the following taxes would cease to exist: Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL), employer, public servant and employee social security contribution; Salary-Education, contribution to the “S” System, Tax on Industrialized Products (IPI), Contribution to Social Security Financing (Cofins), Contribution for Interventions in the Economic Domain (Cide) of Fuels, and ITR and IOF remittances; and Individual Income Tax (IRPF) for those who receive up to five minimum wages. Simples companies would have the elimination of federal taxes in the Simples Nacional Collection Document.
