The version ends the “ramp” of income tax, Marcos Sintra told CNN
Former Federal Revenue Secretary Maros Sintra criticized in an interview CNNThe version of the Income Tax (IR) proposed by the Federal Government. According to The Economist, this measurement “ends” with a tribute ramp.
Nowadays IR is gradual, five pay range depending on citizens’ income, namely: exemption, 7.5%, 15%, 22.5%and 27.5%. The table is considered old, earning more than R $ 4,664.68 per month with maximum tax rate.
With Government income reformThose who earn up to the monthly R $ 5,000 will be exempt from taxes, Discounts to income between $ 5,000 and, 000 7,000 And a “Effective Minimum Tax” to Brazilians with more than 50 thousand income.
Sintra’s criticism points out, in practice, no longer “ramp”, But “some levels”: R R is up to $ 7,000 and the exemption and partial deduction for tax shock, 27.5%of alcohol, Brazilian income exceeding 7 thousand.
“Those who earn more than 000 7,000 will pay the maximum tax level. If you lose all the graduation of the tribute. The ideal is allowed to reform the table as a whole, rebuilding, more tracks and high roof, I will do so.”
In order to argue for this model, the Ministry of Finance Formula “just”.
According to the logic of IR, the rebuilding of the table brings partial benefits to the highest tracks.
The selected way focuses on the poor and prevents excessive income, folder technicians.
The economist sees merit in the progress of the exception range and says that Brazilians who earn up to 000 7,000 have no “contributory capacity”.
However, in his estimate, earners who earn between $ 7,000 and $ 15,000 have a “low -supporting capacity” and are yet 27.5%to be paid. Reconstruction prevents such distortion, he argues.
The Sintra also criticized the proposed compensation mechanism, which is classified as “new tax”.
The economist agrees with the eligibility to increase the cooperation of the highest classes, but it is said that it should be done with tax benefits – which guarantees less effective rates.
