Foz do Iguaçu Discusses New Amendment to “Green Property Tax”, Which Proposes Progressive Discounts on Tax for Properties with Solar Energy, Encouraging the Adoption of Residential Photovoltaic Systems

In the session on Monday, May 6, the Foz do Iguaçu City Council will begin the processing of a proposal that could encourage the use of solar energy in the city. This is a substitute amendment to the bill that establishes the “Green Property Tax” program.

The aim is to grant progressive discounts on the Urban Property and Land Tax (IPTU) for residential properties that install photovoltaic generation solar energy systems. The proposal is authored by councilwoman Anice Gazzaoui.

According to the text, the discount would work in three stages. In the first year after the system installation, the owner would receive a 5% reduction in the tax.

In the second year, the discount would increase to 10%. From the third year onward, the benefit would reach 15%, maintained in subsequent years, as long as the system is operational.

To be entitled to the benefit, the property owner will need to present a technical report issued by a qualified professional or company, proving the installation and operation of the photovoltaic system. It will also be required that the property has all municipal taxes up to date.

Furthermore, the request must be made formally to the competent public administration body, with the necessary documentation submitted in the year prior to the discount request.

The project specifies that the discount will only be applied on the IPTU of the property with the installed system. It will not be possible to combine it with other existing benefits or exemptions.

The amendment begins to be processed in this session and could represent a real incentive for clean energy generation in the city.

Foz do Iguaçu Discusses New Amendment to “Green Property Tax”, Which Proposes Progressive Discounts on Tax for Properties with Solar Energy, Encouraging the Adoption of Residential Photovoltaic Systems

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Fishermen find a rare 127 kg substance inside a whale in Yemen, sell the “whale vomit” for $1.5 million, and become millionaires with the find in the Gulf of Aden.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Solar energy covered rooftops and deserts, but now it’s preparing a mountain of old glass: up to 78 million tons of photovoltaic panels could become waste by 2050 as the world races to recycle the shiny skin of the energy transition.
