The approval of Provisional Measure 1,160, which contains part of the tax package launched by Finance Minister Fernando Haddad and includes changes in the Administrative Council for Tax Appeals (Carf), will require greater political understanding for approval.
This is the evaluation of the FPE (Parliamentary Front for Entrepreneurship), which met this Tuesday (28) with the Attorney General of the National Treasury, Anelize Lenzi, to clarify points of the proposal. The front is formed by 218 parliamentarians, 184 deputies and 34 senators.
The Secretary of Revenue, Robinson Barreirinhas, was confirmed, but did not attend due to an agenda with Minister Fernando Haddad, who decides this Tuesday (28) on the reencumbrance of fuels.
The president of the group, deputy Marco Bertaiolli (PSD-SP), points out that, at this moment, there are two problematic points in the proposal:
1. What is the impact of the casting vote on actions involving international corporations. In this case, the front defends the casting vote, pro-Revenue, only for issues involving international corporations. One proposal would be to create a separate session in CARF to judge only the divergences that deal with international regulations;
2. What is the legal security for micro and small companies. The FPE wants the government to create a new instance in the Carf, but at the state level and with the participation of representatives of the taxpayers.
Before the provisional measure, it was possible to appeal fines imposed by the Tax Authorities and take disputes to the council who had a dispute in the amount of at least 60 minimum wages (R$ 78,120). After the change, the value rose to one thousand minimum wages. Debts below R$ 1.302 million will have to be resolved, according to the original text of the MP, in the regional Revenue units.
“The Carf model that it is today needs to be modernized, perhaps it is not necessary for the Carf to be the size it is today. The numbers prove that it would not be productive for the Revenue itself”, said the president of the FPE.
The attorney general of the National Treasury defended the MP and stated that “the presumption that the taxpayer is being massacred by the Tax Authorities is a myth that interferes with the discussion”, but pointed out that they are open to finding a solution and discussing it with the legislature.
