Generating R$60 billion in revenue), reducing taxation on production and consumption and increasing the burden on income (there is no mention of IR).

The text states that the proposal will have simplification and social justice. Like Ciro, she talks about merging consumption taxes into a Value Added Tax (VAT), "bringing more social justice, simplification, progressiveness and neutrality to the system". And she advocates reforming the IR to eliminate the regressive nature EX Mobile Phone Numbers of the system. A comparative reading of the plans points to some conclusions. First; With the exception of one project which changes the IR, cited by Bolsonaro, no other project being processed in Congress is highlighted in the programs, which indicates disregard for the debate already accumulated and the risk of wasting time with a text that has already been started.

The candidates seem unaware of the complexity of changing a country's tax system without negotiating work involving governors and mayors. Lula, Ciro and Tebet even talk about reviewing the federative pact, but the reference is no more than a sentence in each document. Bolsonaro, who lived at odds with governors, lists federal actions developed in the states, but does not talk about renewing federal relations. Third; Bolsonaro signals that the reform aims to boost private initiative, Lula and Ciro indicate their intention to strengthen the State's capacity to influence the economy. Fourth and last; reform ideas seem to be on the right track when talking about simplification, but this is a truism.
