Haddad Presses Congress to Pass Tax Compliance Bill Targeting Chronic Debtors

He links the proposal to Receita operations he says are exposing large tax‑evasion schemes.

Overview

  • In a Câmara hearing on September 24, Fernando Haddad said recent Receita actions are reaching the “true thieves of the nation.”
  • He cited a late‑August operation that he said dismantled a large group operating in the fuels sector and in investment funds.
  • PL 15/2024 advances a three‑part agenda that rewards compliant taxpayers, including a potential CSLL reduction of up to 3% for three years.
  • The bill defines chronic debtors using R$15 million thresholds tied to irregular debts, duration over one year, and repeated CNPJ changes, with the Fisco estimating about R$100 billion owed.
  • He said the government will begin taxing betting companies, banks, and billionaires and criticized Jair Bolsonaro for leaving the income‑tax table unadjusted for four years.
