The Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, asked this Tuesday (9) for attention to the so-called bomb agendas that are being processed in the National Congress. According to him, any increases in spending, or losses in revenue resulting from its approval, could make the country "ungovernable" in the future. In an exclusive interview with Uol News, he cited three examples: the discussion about expanding tax immunity for churches (allowing them not to pay consumption tax); the increase in the civil service ceiling and also the renegotiation of rural debts. "There is a discussion in the Chamber about expanding exemptions for religious entities, which already have immunity today, but for the purposes of consumption taxes. If approved in the Chamber, we will have, in the tax reform rate, a 1% increase in national VAT", said the Minister of Finance. The logic is that, if churches are also exempt from consumption tax, the rest of the population, to compensate for this loss of revenue, will have to pay an extra percentage point in their place. And the estimated tax rate for the Brazilian economy is already one of the highest in the world.
