The deputy defends “cashback” in tax reform in the health and education sectors

The coordinator of the tax reform working group has suggested tax refunds for low-income people

The deputy Reginaldo Lopes (PT-MG), coordinator of the working group of tax reform TO Room, defended this Tuesday 14, that the proposal includes a sort of “cashback” in the health and education sectors, with tax refunds for low-income people. The lawmaker also defended the “cashback” to offset the burden on the basic food basket, but this measure is met with opposition from agribusiness.

“With the same rate, in the health and education sectors, we can have different treatments. Having a general rate for the health and education sectors, but also a differentiated treatment for the poorest through the reimbursement of the tax paid A sort of cashback,” Lopes said during a lunch meeting at the Parliamentary Front for Entrepreneurship (FPE).

“It is one thing for a citizen to send a child to primary school by paying R $ 3,000 or R $ 4,000. It is another thing for a citizen to pay a thousand reais,” added the PT. According to Lopes, “cashback” for low-income people should be implemented through a supplementary law. He reflected, however, on the fact that the political forces of the House and Senate may want to impose “some constitutional command” on the measure.

Discussions on tax reform, which is one of the priorities of the Lula government, intensified at the beginning of the month, when meetings of the GDL created by Lira began. The group is based on the Proposal for Amendment of the Constitution (PEC) 45/19 and 110/19, which create a single tax on consumption, called Tax on Goods and Services (IBS), with the extinction of PIS, Cofins, ISS , ICMS and IPI.

At the FPE meeting, Lopes defended that the tax reform follows the path of PEC 110/19, which creates a double VAT on consumption, with one rate applied by the Union and another by states and municipalities. The Front is currently made up of 230 parliamentarians (189 deputies and 41 senators).
