Economic Affairs Commission to vote on solution to fiscal war on October 7
Vice-president of the Economic Affairs Commission (CAE), Senator Luiz Henrique (PMDB-SC) informed the Senate Agency that he will put to vote, on the 7th, the bill that offers a possible way out of the fiscal war (PLS 130 / 2014). According to him, the biggest obstacle to the proposal, the resistance of the governing base, seems to be overcome with a statement by President Dilma Rousseff, given this week in Santa Catarina, in favor of the vote.
Another factor that may accelerate the decision of the CAE and the Senate Plenary, said the senator, is the possibility that the Supreme Federal Court (STF) would put on the agenda, in November, the Binding Summary Proposal 69, which considers the tax incentives unconstitutional relating to ICMS granted without prior approval by the National Council for Farm Policy (Confaz).
The president of the STF Jurisprudence Commission, Minister Gilmar Mendes, spoke on September 8 for the “admissibility and convenience” of the edition of the summary. According to the magistrate, the binding entry “mirrors the peaceful and current jurisprudence” of the Court. Finally, he suggested its inclusion on the agenda of the STF Plenary.
