 ¤ Government studies to correct IR exemption range by inflation ( August 8 th ) . The government is studying the correction of the lower income tax exemption range ( today , at R $ 1 , 903 . 98 per month ) by inflation , in addition to promoting a linear cut in the rates of all income brackets , according to the State economic sources . The measure would be a reward for ending health and education spending deductions . Deductions allow you to decrease the amount of tax to be paid or increase the refund you receive . The state anticipated in July that the economic team was studying ending medical deductions in exchange for a linear cut in tax rates . One of the ideas is that , in addition to the linear cut , also the readjustment of the exemption range - which would make more Brazilians not required to make the declaration to the tax authorities . Today , medical expenses waivers benefit only the richest 20 % of the Brazilian population , according to a study by the Ministry of Economy . The result shows that the government ' s policy of granting this subsidy feeds the regressive character of the National Tax System , where those who earn less pay proportionally more than those with higher incomes . That is , medical deductions tend to increase income inequality in the country . With medical deductions , the government gives up R $ 45 . 9 billion in taxes . The end of the deductions would also reach education expenses . Unlike health care expenses , there is a limit on income tax with self - education or dependency , which is R $ 3 , 561 . 50 per person . Tax reform : The secretary of the IRS , Marcos Cintra , said on Thursday , 8 , that the government wants to present , through the Minister of Economy , Paulo Guedes , the very text of tax reform next week . According to him , the text will be " intermediate " between the proposals that are in Congress today , also addressing some items that are not touched , such as Income Tax and the payroll tax exemption ( taxes on the salaries that firms pay ) . " The government proposal will greatly simplify the calculation of the tax due , " he said . Cintra made it clear , however , that there is no possibility of a reform that foresees a drop in revenue . That is , there will be no review of the tax burden . He signaled , in this sense , that he can again discuss dividend taxation ( payment that the shareholders of a company receive for the profit generated ) . Who pays are publicly traded companies , which are required to distribute at least 25 % of their net income . Today , shareholders do not have to pay dividend taxes . The federal government advocates the creation of a federal tax VAT by bringing together PIS / Cofins , ISS , a part of the IOF and perhaps CSLL , while maintaining control over federal taxes . Cintra once again highlighted the difficulty of approving a nationwide reform , including states . He said the debate , if taken in these terms , can be difficult and time consuming . Sponsored by the mayor , Rodrigo Maia ( DEM - RJ ) , " PEC Baleia / Appy " was designed in the value - added tax ( VAT ) model that exists in various countries around the world . The IBS would unify in one single tribute the IPI , PIS , Cofins ( all from the federal government ) , ICMS ( states ) and ISS ( municipalities ) . Marcos Cintra also said that the payment tax - which will be called social security contribution and will be proposed to compensate for the payroll tax exemption - is “ of the same kind ” as the former CPMF . However , he stated that the CPMF was poorly implemented and poorly articulated and ensured that the new tax will be simpler and more efficient . “ The social security contribution , which is the tax on payments we intend to suggest , is to the CPMF just as VAT is to the ICMS . They are tributes of the same species , but one is poorly implanted , poorly articulated , deformed , distorted and the other is simpler and more efficient , ” he said .
