Bill 1852/24 resets the federal contribution rates (PIS/Cofins) imposed on operations in the domestic market involving ethanol fuel. The text is under analysis in the House of Representatives.
Under the proposal, these rates would remain at zero until another renewable fuel emerges to replace ethanol. In addition, the revenue losses would have to be covered by cuts in federal advertising spending.
“Alcohol is renewable and cleaner; the government is obliged to encourage its consumption at the expense of fossil fuels, which create an imbalance in the ecological balance,” said the author of the proposal, MP José Medeiros (PL-MT).
The bill is final and will be analyzed by the Finance and Taxation Committees. The Constitution, Justice and Citizenship Committees. To become law, the proposal must be approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate. Chamber Agency
