The release by the Federal Revenue of the program that will be used by Brazilians to declare the 2023 Income Tax, and the request of PSOL, PDT and PSB deputies for the impeachment of the mandate of federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) are among the highlights of this Thursday -Friday (9).
Revenue releases IR 2023 declaration program this Thursday (9)
The Federal Revenue releases, this Thursday (9), at 9 am (Brasília time), the 2023 Income Tax Program, which allows Brazilians to declare income taxes for the year 2022.
At first, the program would only be available on March 15, the first day of the four-month period for Brazilians to complete the declarations. But the agency decided to anticipate the release.
The Revenue argued that the anticipation of the program “helps the taxpayer who, by having access to the information necessary for the delivery of the declaration, can organize himself and gather the necessary documentation. In addition, it must avoid possible congestion”.
Despite the anticipation, the institution reinforced that “the delivery and transmission functionalities, together with the pre-filled information, will only start on March 15th.
PSOL, PDT and PSB deputies ask for Nikolas Ferreira’s impeachment
Federal deputies from the PSOL, PDT and PSB asked, this Wednesday (8), the impeachment of the mandate of federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) for alleged transphobia after a speech in the plenary of the Chamber during this International Women’s Day.
The filed representation asks the mayor, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), that a disciplinary process be initiated in the House Ethics Council and that Ferreira be punished with impeachment at the end of the entire analysis. In the group’s assessment, the deputy broke parliamentary decorum.
In addition to the PSOL bench, the deputies Duda Salabert (PDT-MG) and Tabata Amaral (PSB-SP), the deputies André Figueiredo (PDT-CE) and Túlio Gadelha (Rede-PE), and the president of the PSB, Carlos Siqueira.
Nikolas Ferreira wore a wig during a speech on the tribune of the Chamber of Deputies and said that he felt like a transsexual woman and, therefore, would have a “place to speak” on International Women’s Day.
Brazil, US to deepen economic agreement, says White House trade chief
Brazil and the United States are going to negotiate a deepening of the Trade and Economic Cooperation Agreement (ATEC) signed between the two countries in 2020. The decision was taken in meetings between the White House trade representative (USTR), Katherine Tai, and the deputy President Geraldo Alckmin and with Chancellor Mauro Vieira.
The current agreement covers topics such as customs simplification and good regulatory practices.
In an interview with CNN this Wednesday (8), Tai said he hopes that teams from both governments will meet in the second half of the year and be able to expand this economic partnership before the 200th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Brazil and the United States, in 2024.
In 2022, bilateral trade grew by 26% compared to the previous year and broke a historic record, reaching almost US$ 89 billion. The stock of direct investments reaches US$ 200 billion.
PSB and Solidarity negotiate to form party federation
The Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) and Solidarity are negotiating to form a party federation.
If the talks progress and there is approval by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), the parties will act as a “single party” over the next four years, which includes, for example, joint action in the Chamber of Deputies and single candidacies for major positions, such as city halls (in 2024), state governments and the Presidency of the Republic (in 2026).
On Tuesday (7), presidents Carlos Siqueira, of the PSB, and Paulinho da Força, of Solidarity, had a meeting to discuss the possibility.
After defeat in the Senate, opposition wants a post in the Budget committee
After being defeated in the Senate and running out of commission presidencies, opposition parties to the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) want the creation of more commissions so that they can command them, in addition to a post in the Mixed Budget Commission (CMO ).
Composed of around 23 senators, the opposition is looking for a way out to minimize the damage and still secure some important positions in the Senate after an articulation of Lula’s allied base made the Vanguarda parliamentary bloc – formed by PL, PP, Republicans and Novo – run out of commission commands.
A request from the opposition is that Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG) create more permanent committees in the House. For example, Mines and Energy, Sports and Health. These themes are already covered in existing commissions, but the idea is to separate them and focus even more on future collegiate bodies led by the opposition.
