Business Entities of Agriculture, Trade and Industry Warn That MP 1202 Harms Competitiveness of the Country and Productive Sector.

The re-establishment of payroll taxes, proposed by Provisional Measure 1202/2023, has generated dissatisfaction among business entities in agriculture, trade, industry, services, and transportation. The measure increases the cost of employment in Brazil, negatively impacting the competitiveness of Brazilian products and services both in the domestic market and in international trade.

The increase in charges resulting from the re-establishment of payroll taxes and the increase in taxation significantly harms business activity, bringing negative consequences for the economy as a whole. It is necessary to seek alternatives to avoid overloading employment costs and maintain the competitiveness of the Brazilian market.

Re-Establishment of Payroll Taxes: Business Entities Express Dissatisfaction With MP 1202/2023

In a joint statement, the Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil (CNA), National Confederation of Commerce of Goods, Services and Tourism (CNC), National Confederation of Industry (CNI), and National Confederation of Transportation (CNT) express dissatisfaction with MP 1202. The re-establishment of payroll taxes for 17 sectors of the economy limits the use of tax credits arising from final court decisions for the payment of federal taxes and revises the Emergency Program for the Resumption of the Events Sector (Perse).

Impact of Re-Establishment of Payroll Taxes on Companies

The president of the CNI, Ricardo Alban, highlights that the increase in charges resulting from the re-establishment of payroll taxes will lead to caution from employers. With a 20% increase in charges, economic sectors tend to stop investing and adjust their operations to deal with new costs, which will negatively impact competitiveness.

Competitiveness, Industry and Commerce: Challenges Facing the Re-Establishment of Payroll Taxes

According to the Confederations, MP 1202 further harms the competitiveness of industry and commerce, which face unfair competition with imports, especially from international e-commerce. The increase in the tax burden on the productive sector is considered a mistake that will affect the ability to generate wealth and jobs that drive economic and social development.

Business Entities Express Surprise and Indignation With Tax Increase Measures

Business entities in agriculture, trade, industry, services, and transportation were surprised and express indignation with the tax increase measures announced in MP 1202 in 2023. The measures were implemented without prior dialogue and in opposition to previous decisions of the National Congress.

Economic Consequences of the Re-Establishment of Payroll Taxes

The re-establishment of payroll taxes increases the cost of employment in Brazil and harms the competitiveness of industry and commerce, which already face challenges from unfair competition with imports. The situation demands legal actions to reverse these measures and promote federal revenue and tax justice between domestic production and imports.

Productive Sector Seeks Balanced Fiscal Adjustment and Dialogue for Public Policies

While understanding the importance of fiscal adjustment, the productive sector emphasizes the need for a balance in the distribution of expenses between the public and private sectors. Dialogue and the search for convergence are essential for public policies to achieve their goals and drive economic growth and fiscal balance.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The sea has stopped just warming and has started pushing storms towards the continent: marine heatwaves are already entering the path of up to 25% of extreme coastal rains and can increase storms by 30%, worsening floods on the coast.

While traditional constructions rely on tons of concrete to support weight, in England an abandoned site was converted into transparent hexagonal domes, combining lightweight engineering and mine repurposing, transforming the landscape and local tourism.

The bridge that collapsed in seconds after being hit by a ship in Baltimore will be reborn as a cable-stayed bridge: Maryland signed $4.8 billion in four contracts for a 508-meter span specifically designed to withstand the impact of a giant cargo ship.

End of the tape measure, marking line, and subfloor error: robot prints the project directly on the construction site floor, creates layout up to 10 times faster, and marks 10,000 to 15,000 square feet per day with one person.

While historical buildings rely on artificial lighting, a museum in Wisconsin uses 66-meter movable wings to control natural light and create the effect of a giant bird over its glass hall.
