Ministers Fernando Haddad (PT), of Finance, and Alexandre Silveira, of Mines and Energy, explained on February 28th the return of federal taxes. The increases, according to Haddad, were: R$ 0.47 for gasoline R$ 0.02 for ethanol The Federal Revenue Secretary, Robinson Barreirinhas, informed that the partial reinstatement of taxes is valid for four months, until June. It will only be maintained in the second semester if Congress decides to convert the provisional measure into law. At the time, Haddad said that the impacts on the pumps would be smaller, since Petrobras had announced a reduction in gasoline and diesel prices for distributors. “We have a clear objective, which is to rebuild the public budget,” said the minister. Still according to Haddad, with the reduction of gasoline by R$ 0.13 per liter by Petrobras, the final impact to be felt by the consumer would be R$ 0.34 for gasoline. VIDEOS: latest economics news
