The Chamber of Deputies approved the base text that abolishes the so-called "blusinhas tax," which is the import tax charged on international purchases of up to US$ 50. The vote was symbolic, while deputies analyze the highlights to the project.
The approved report came from a joint committee of the Senate, which had previously discussed the proposal. Opposition parties presented highlights to the text, but the expectation is that all of them will be rejected by leaders of the government coalition.
After approval in the Chamber, the project still needs to pass through the Senate floor. The expectation is that this vote will take place in sequence, continuing the legislative process.
Before analyzing the project on the blusinhas tax, senators still need to vote on other provisional measures that are on the Senate's agenda. Reporters indicate that the process is being updated.
