Luis Montenegro believes that the IRC cut may have a smaller effect than expected. The Prime Minister believes that the measure may have a “smaller effect” than envisaged: 500 million euros per year.
“A feat”, according to Pedro Nuno Santos, who joked at the end of the debate that Montenegro believes that the reduction of “1,500 million IRC will have a beneficial effect, forcing companies to pay even more”. The PS Secretary General acknowledged that the government’s proposals regarding the IRS and IRC, “as we know them, are very problematic”. However, he is going to “talk” “in good faith”. For the rest of the left, the reduction of the IRC is a “tax exemption” for large companies. “It is an option at the service of economic groups, which will cost the country 4,500 million euros in the first four years”, says Paulo Raimundo of the PCP.
Rui Tavares of Livre criticizes the “use of the budget surplus” because he believes that it is “distributed hand in hand to those who have made the least sacrifices.” “These 1.5 billion euros are very much needed by small businesses,” he concluded.
Taxes are set to be one of the biggest sticking points in budget talks, but the prime minister is prepared to talk about measures, especially in debates with the Liberal Initiative. “The government is open to improving this mechanism [IRS Jovem]”With the help of some benches and yours, there can certainly be something to add in this area,” Montenegro responded to Ruju Rocha of the Liberal Initiative.
