Chegi President Andre Ventura admitted yesterday that he voted for the PS proposal regarding the IRS “if it guarantees tax cuts,” a position he himself considers “strange.” “Unfortunately, it is Chega and PS’s proposals that cut taxes the most,” said the party leader, calling on the government to “come down from its pedestal” and meet with Chega so “we can cut taxes for those who earn less.” “We want to cut taxes, no matter who votes for this proposal,” he said. In today’s debate, which will be attended by Finance Minister Joaquim Miranda Sarmento, the PS proposes changes to the IRS tables (see infographic), changing the way the €348 million tax breaks proposed by the executive are applied. “It has greater financial equity, it is more redistributive and reaches more people,” defended Socialist parliamentary leader Alexandra Leitan, revealing that she “expects that our project can be approved” and that she is “available for parliamentary debate.” about measures.
Chega, on the other hand, wants income up to one thousand euros to be exempt from the IRS, and also proposes an “adjustment of levels,” maintaining “the number of levels, but changing the thresholds,” Andre Ventura said on Monday. . The measures will cost “€1.175 million”, almost four times the executive’s estimate.
ABOUT CM contacted the government to see if it was willing to accept these proposals, but received no response.
