巴西参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗周二在X平台发帖称,如果他赢得周日的总统选举,将恢复针对活动行业的Perse税收优惠计划,重启最初为帮助企业从新冠疫情中恢复而推出的支持措施。
BRASILIA, Oct 20 - Brazil's Senator Flavio Bolsonaro said in a post on X on Tuesday that he would restore Perse, a tax break program for the events sector, if he wins Sunday's presidential election, reviving support originally introduced to help businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
博索纳罗本月早些时候在第一轮投票中出人意料地领先于现任总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦,最近的民调显示他在周日的决选中仍保持微弱领先。
• Bolsonaro finished unexpectedly ahead of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the first round earlier this month, and recent opinion polls show him maintaining a narrow lead ahead of Sunday's runoff
该参议员的竞选承诺了广泛的减税措施,这与他承诺加快财政调整的承诺相悖,因为减税将削减政府收入。
• The senator's campaign has pledged broad-based tax cuts, which sit uneasily alongside his promise of a faster fiscal adjustment, as lower taxes would reduce government revenue
Perse于2021年设立,旨在支持因新冠疫情封锁而受到严重打击的活动、旅游及相关行业。
• Created in 2021, Perse was designed to support the events, tourism and related industries, which were hit hard by COVID-19 lockdowns
该计划后来通过旨在缩小其范围的立法进行了修改,包括前总统若尔·博索纳罗(该参议员的父亲)执政期间引入的变更。
• The program was later amended through legislation aimed at narrowing its scope, including changes introduced during the administration of former President Jair Bolsonaro, the senator's father
去年4月,国会批准将Perse的税收支出上限设为150亿雷亚尔(约合29.9亿美元)后,该计划逐步取消,这是左翼总统卢拉通过削减税收优惠来加强公共财政努力的一部分。
• Perse was phased out in April last year after Congress approved a 15 billion reais ($2.99 billion) cap on its tax expenditures, as part of leftist Lula's efforts to strengthen public finances by curbing tax breaks REUTERS
