Voting on the new text of the bill that benefits the events sector will be held this Tuesday afternoon (23 April)
The federal deputy Felipe Carreras (PSB-PE), author of the Persian (Emergency Program for the Resumption of the Events Sector), said on Monday (April 22, 2024) that Congress will respond to the government's lack of dialogue regarding the interruption of the program.
“I believe that Congress will give an answer again”, Carreras told the magazine Look during an event by the Esfera Brasil group, in São Paulo.
Perse's PL (bill) will be voted on by the Chamber this Tuesday (April 23). Before that, at lunchtime, deputies will meet at the official residence of the President of the House to discuss the topic.
On Monday (April 22), after meeting with the leaders of the Chamber, the Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddadsaid there was “consensus” between deputies and the government about the main points of the bill.
PERSE REDESIGN
The rapporteur of the new Perse project in the Chamber, deputy Renata Abreu (Podemos-SP), established that the fiscal impact of the program reaches R$15 billion from 2024 to 2026 – or R$5 billion annually, as agreed with the Ministry of Finance.
The report presented by the congresswoman maintains all 44 sectors covered, contrary to the reduction in activities expected by government officials.
O Power360 found that the government is negotiating to reduce to 24 the number of CNAEs (National Classification of Economic Activities), which list the activities benefiting from Perse. There is an expectation that the change will be agreed upon before the bill is voted on.
On the other hand, the text reduces the benefits of the program for companies with real or arbitrated profits from 2025 onwards. Other companies will have tax rates reset to zero until 2026. The deadline for the program to be terminated is 2027.
The PL also establishes that the Federal Revenue Service must publish Perse expense reports bimonthly. If the cost exceeds R$15 billion (in values adjusted for inflation), the government must send a PL to Congress in the 2nd half of 2025 to change the rates and adjust the fiscal impact.
