Congressman Christino Aureo (PP-RJ), author of the Proposed Amendment to the Constitution (PEC) on Fuels in the Chamber, defended the approval of a measure that uses the increase in revenue to mitigate the rise in fuel prices in the country.
This measure would have to be approved through a PEC, which could be the very proposal presented by him, said the deputy during lunch of the Parliamentary Front for Entrepreneurship (FPE).
The congressman was against the stabilization fund provided for in a Senate bill. The model he advocates would be different.
“I’m not talking about forking the tax, I’m talking about the additions that we produce through the very rise in commodity prices, with government participation, and the increase in tax collection. It is from this slice that we will be able to take the effort to mitigate these situations,” he said.
The deputy’s PEC, still in the signature collection phase, authorizes the reduction and exemption of federal and state taxes on fuel. The president of the Chamber, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), however, has already declared that the PEC will not be ruled on.
The author of the PEC stated that he does not defend the proposal as the only solution, but as part of a “basket of possibilities”.
In addition to the PEC, Aureo defended the approval of the complementary bill 11/2021, also pending in the Senate, which changes the ICMS collection model, a tax collected by the states.
At the same event, the president of the Brazilian Institute of Oil, Gas and Biofuels (IBP) and former director of Petrobras, Eberaldo de Almeida, stated that the freezing of fuel prices could cause an impact of more than R$ 113 billion in a year. and cause internal shortages.
The author of the PEC defended measures that do not affect the country’s credibility, but stressed that something needs to be done. “No nation in the world has the fiscal space to make an effort of this size. Now, zero? Do no attitude? Let the price spiral destroy demand? What will be the effects of this crisis on the economy and the lives of Brazilians?”
