How the Oil and Gas Sector Will Function in São Paulo in 2022
As the oil and natural gas industry is a major generator of jobs and income, the state government has decided to stop charging 12% for the purchase of machines and equipment for interstate exits.
The government of the state of São Paulo stated that by benefiting employment-generating sectors, it is possible due to the state’s fiscal adjustment, in addition to an economic growth above the national average.
With the changes, it is expected that the sectors will develop even further, generating more job openings in the state and recovering once and for all from the serious consequences of the pandemic.
