According to the document, among the proposals, the federation suggests the suspension of state law n° 8.645/2019, which established the Temporary Budget Fund (FOT). “With the expected contraction of the economy and the difficulties faced by companies, the increase in the tax burden due to the establishment of the FOT is unreasonable at this time,” it stated.
Firjan also proposed extending the deadlines for payment of state and municipal taxes for 180 days, such as ICMS and ISS. Additionally, the institution calls for a temporary suspension of restrictions on the circulation of cargo vehicles in the capitals of Rio, such as the circulation limits and cargo operations. The federation also requests the temporary suspension of ANTT Resolution No. 2.294, which restricts the circulation hours of cargo vehicles on the Rio-Niterói Bridge.
