The rapporteur of the Law on Budget Directives (LDO), Senator Dalírio Beber (PSDB-SC), has justified today (4) that he has issued a stricter opinion for the budget 2019 because of the economic and financial crisis in the country. The opinion presented by Berger this week does not allow any form of adjustment for civil servants, reduces the limit of tax exemptions and vetoed the creation of new positions.
The senator explained that it is necessary to adopt "not nice" measures not to increase mandatory spending for the next government. He reiterated that there will be no substitutes for vacancies in the civil service, except in the areas of education, health, public security, defense, of social badistance. Adjustments that have already been approved on an ad hoc or phased basis will not be affected either.
"We produce a report very carefully, aware of the level of difficulty currently facing the country, we have had negative numbers in recent years and the trend is that these numbers will worsen in the years to come." not go to 2019 for a government of which we do not yet know who it will be. "
Asked about the political resistance that the restriction on tax incentives may encounter in the productive sector, Beber explained that the delay for It is reasonable for the government to badess the situation of each sector for ten years and find a balance.
The proposal follows the recommendation of the Court of Auditors of the Union (TCU), which stressed that the 39, last year, it was established that the tax exemptions do not exceed the percentage of 2% of the gross domestic product of the country the country ceased to raise 354 billion reais with exonerated tax rations, accounting for 5.4% of GDP and 30.7% of primary revenue. According to the TCU, reducing the amount of tax incentives could halve the pension deficit.
"We now expect that the amount of tax exemptions for 2019 will reach more than R $ 300. At the level of concessions of fiscal incentives in other countries, the maximum that this represents is about 2% of GDP.It is a recommendation we make in the LDO, in that in 10 years we also need to Brazil to have at most 2% of GDP in tax exemptions. "
The senator commented the issue of pension reform should also be addressed to ensure the balance of public accounts. Although he did not include in the LDO report, the rapporteur argued that this issue should be one of the priorities of the legislative and executive branches of the next year.
Beber hopes that his report will be approved before the parliamentary recess, scheduled for July 17. The Joint Budget Committee will meet on Wednesday (4) to discuss the report.
