Next Tuesday (24) may bring news in relation to proposals that relieve tariffs on energy, telecommunications and transport. According to the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), the day will begin with a meeting at the official residence with the leaders of the opposition and the allied base to discuss the vote on the PLP 18/22which relieves the tariffs of these sectors.
“We need an exit from Congress, together with the Judiciary and the Executive Power, to reduce inflationary and world prices”, said Arthur Lira. “The plenary will have the opportunity to take a decisive step to contribute against the abuse of taxes in telecommunications, energy and transport. We must relieve taxes in these sectors that are essential”, he added.
If there is an agreement at the meeting, Lira said that he intends to put the complementary bill to a vote next Tuesday, the 24th. The proposal classifies fuels, electricity, telecommunications and transport as essential goods and services, with a maximum ICMS rate of 17%.
“This is not a political or ideological debate. It’s a country debate. I will call on all powers to reflect on the emergency reality of today’s world, which affects the people and requires institutional actions with a vision of the nation,” Lira said on Twitter.
