Guedes again defends a lean version of tax reform and taxation of the super-rich

The Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, once again defended the approval of a tax reform, albeit in a simple version. According to him, cutting the tax burden on companies and taxing super-risks would be enough to make the country more attractive at this time.

“We can make a leaner version, taxing the richest and reducing corporate taxes. This is what Brazil needs to receive investments from abroad”, he said, recalling that the text of the Income Tax reform suggested by the Executive was approved in the Chamber, but stalled in the Senate.

Guedes participated this Monday (9th) in the launch ceremony of the Investment Monitor. On the occasion, the minister highlighted the country’s repositioning in the foreign trade chain.

“Brazil is positioning itself as a new frontier for investments to ensure food and energy security and the solution of climate problems in the world economy,” he said.

In addition to joining the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the minister also mentioned the Mercosur agreement with the European Union as important points for this repositioning.
