Carf MP will be turned into a bill after agreement – 04/11/2023 – Panel SA

The mixed committee that was scheduled to discuss the text of the MP (provisional measure) from Carf this Tuesday (11) was cancelled. The action takes place in the wake of the Lula government’s movement to sew an agreement with Congress to transform the Carf MP into a bill.

Controversial for resuming the so-called casting vote in judgments of taxpayers’ tax debts with the Revenue Service –which in practice guarantees the Treasury to maintain charges when there is a tie–, the MP was negotiated with businessmen who were pressing against the text. In negotiations, the government accepted that, in cases of a tie, the taxpayer pays only the principal, without monetary correction.

Now, the new text will be sent to Congress as a bill to be processed on an urgent basis and must be voted within 45 days before locking up the agenda of the House. As shown by Sheet, the government does not have a majority on the subject in the Chamber. Centrão parliamentarians took it for granted that the MP would be defeated in the House.

For Senator Otto Alencar (PSD-BA), a member of the mixed commission that was canceled this Tuesday, the issue is more consensual in the Senate. “I am in favor of resuming the casting vote. The pressure from businessmen is only made by large companies, not by small and medium-sized ones. Former President Bolsonaro, when he ended the casting vote, scored a goal against the Union, and this issue needs to be corrected”, says Alencar.
