Throughout 2023, during the processing of PL 334, the Federal Government did not present alternative proposals to the public policy approved by Congress, which is fundamental to the lives of more than 9 million formally employed workers. The National Congress, democratically and by a large majority, converted the PL into Law 14,784/2023, establishing a new legal framework for maintaining jobs and business competitiveness. Unfortunately, the Federal Government belatedly and in an imposing manner, without dialogue or social sensitivity, repeatedly tries to reverse the measure, disrespecting the balance of constitutional forces with the imposition of its will, through PL 493/2024, which simply forwards, in urgent processing regime, the same text as MP 1202/2023. Once again, the Government proposes to nullify Law 14,784/2023, recently promulgated by the National Congress on 12/28/2023, after approval with a large majority in both Houses.
The Movimento Desonera Brasil has always been open to broad dialogue, as it did during the months of PL 334 being processed, but it was never approached by the Federal Government for discussions on this subject that is so important for the country, for workers and for companies.
The cost of generating formal employment in Brazil is extremely high, which leads to greater informality and precariousness in the labor market. Brazil needs solutions that encourage the creation of formal jobs by companies.
We understand that the constitutional imposition contained in Constitutional Amendment 132 – Tax Reform on Consumption, establishes the sending of two PLs to debate taxation on formal work and income, and this is the appropriate path for the construction of a perennial policy , safe and that includes the predictability that is so necessary for business planning and the security of formal jobs. Unfortunately, we are not seeing this process happening.
Given the facts, we reaffirm our willingness to engage in the necessary constructive and democratic dialogue, based on factual data and credible information. A dialogue that can reach a definitive solution to the cost of being formally employed in the country, not only for the 17 sectors, but for the productive economy as a whole. We propose, once again, that this broad discussion takes place, as provided for in Constitutional Amendment 132, within the scope of tax reform.
