PL 914/2024, approved in the Senate, returned to the House after the confusion over the “blouse tax”. Understand how this affects the Mover project
The National Congress is close to approving PL 914/2024, a bill that establishes the Green Mobility and Innovation Program, also known as Moving the project. The text was approved in the Senate, in a discussion that also touched on issues unrelated to the topic, such as the popular one”blouse rate” — 20% tax on imported purchases up to US$50.

- Toyota will spend R$5 billion to have a new factory in Sorocaba
And how is it possible that such a different issue ended up in the middle of the vote on a project that involves? injection of billions of reais into the Brazilian automotive industry? And how did you end up postponing final approval of Project Mover? This is what Canaltech I will explain.
The so-called “blouse tax” was even canceled in the opinion of the PL rapporteur, Senator Rodrigo Cunha (Podemos-AL), who defined it as a “jabuti”, a term used by politicians when it comes to a topic without any link with the main subject of the topic is included in the voting agenda.
Despite having removed the mention in his opinion, the taxation of imported products ended up being voted on and approved, after a maneuver by the senators of the government base. They used a highlight – a procedure that allows, upon request, an amendment or part of the proposal to be voted on separately – and, therefore, were successful in the vote.
Why did the “blouse tax” hinder Mover?
The approval of the “blouse tax”, while having nothing to do with the law establishing Project Mover, directly influenced an issue that will surely define the direction of the Brazilian automotive industry for the next few years.
Senator Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), leader of the opposition in the Chamber, summed up in a few words how the external discussion of the Mover project hindered its approval.
“The tick has become bigger than the guest and this distorts the legislative process,” he commented, unhappy that a secondary issue has taken on larger proportions than the main one.
The fact is that the whole discussion about the so-called “blouse tax” led to the text of the Project Mover bill being postponed for further discussion and a new vote in the Chamber of Deputies, as the speaker deleted other excerpts of the proposal initially approved in the House.
What is Project Mover?
The Green Mobility and Innovation Program, or Project Mover, is an initiative of the Federal Government in collaboration with the major automobile manufacturers operating in the country. The main objective is to support the decarbonisation of the fleet through large investments in technologies to develop “greener” vehicles.
The project involves the injection of R$ 19.3 billion in fiscal incentives for car manufacturers until 2028: R$ 3.5 billion in 2024, R$ 3.8 billion in 2025, R$ 3.9 billion R$ in 2026, R$4 billion in 2027 and R$4.1 billion in 2028. would aim to further attract the interest of manufacturers who would thus inject around R$130 billion into the sector by 2030.
