Deputy Júlio César took advantage of the public hearing chaired by the chairman of the Finance and Taxation Committee (CFT), Deputy Cláudio Vignatti, held last Tuesday (17), in plenary 4 of annex II of the Chamber of Deputies, with attorneys for Finance Nacional and OAB representatives to charge the transfer of funds collected by the Union through the National Treasury Attorney. The congressman managed to approve a public hearing summoning all the bodies involved in the process (collection / distribution). According to Júlio César it is important that the IRS explain how the collection is made, how the division is made by SERPRO and what are the criteria used by the National Treasury to authorize payment by Banco do Brasil. "I want all of these involved to come and show what is happening since the States and Municipalities are not receiving these resources correctly". He stated.

The audience was attended by the president of the Union, João Carlos Souto; the Attorney General of the National Treasury, Luís Inácio Lucena Adams; the vice president of the Federal Council of the OAB, Vladimir Rossi Lourenço; the Deputy Advocate General of the Union, Evandro Gama and the President of the Competition Ethics Institute - ETCO, André Franco Montoro Filho.

The CFT president explained that this is the first step to encourage discussion about the National Tax System as an instrument for the country's growth. "This is the moment," commented Vignatti. "Debating Tax Justice is debating new models to improve income distribution in the country and reduce the tax burden on basic food products, for example, which cannot be missing from the Brazilian people's table," said the Commission president.

SINPROFAZ - National Union of National Treasury Attorneys will launch a campaign for the creation of the National Day of Tax Justice. The proposal is that March 17 is celebrated annually with various activities across the country to raise awareness of the importance of a country with a fairer and more balanced tax system
