He said he expects to approve the matter “in the coming months”. Upon leaving the senator’s official residence, Haddad expressed confidence in the approval, later this year, of both the tax reform and the bill that restores the tie-breaking vote in the Administrative Council of Tax Appeals (Carf). “We are confident that we will approve the matters coming from the Chamber, with the independence that the Senate has, in the sense of perfecting the texts. Very confident that we will enact a tax reform, after so many decades, that is up to the challenges facing Brazil”, said Haddad. Ministers Simone Tebet and Fernando Haddad and the president of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco, speak to the press after a meeting to discuss the processing of the PEC on Tax Reform in the Senate – Marcelo Camargo/Agência Brasil Regarding the project on Carf, the minister classified the subject as “sensitive matter”. “We had important signaling from the President of the Senate, and we are confident that it will be appreciated in August. This will pave the way for Minister Simone Tebet to be able to prepare a budget piece, assuming in it all the commitments expressed by President Lula”, he added. Haddad highlighted as “Lula’s most important commitments” the maintenance of a minimum level of investment; the recomposition of the constitutional floor of Health and Education; and the target primary result for the coming year.
