Viana said.

Saullo Vianna also pointed out, among the expected results with the changes in tax collection and collection, the need to reduce the regressivity of our system, which means that the poorest commit more of their earnings to paying taxes than the most rich.

“We also seek, with the text we deliver, to do social justice since today, people with lower purchasing power pay the same taxes on consumption as a person with higher purchasing power”,

According to the deputy, our country has the worst tax system in the world due to its complexity of types of taxes and different laws. “The idea is to simplify and make tax payments more transparent.
