ANAREC accused the Government of failing to reflect the announced reductions in the Special Consumption Tax (ISP) in an effective decrease in the tax burden on Portuguese citizens. The association points out that, despite the promises, consumers do not feel the benefits of these reductions in their fuel expenses.
João Durão, representing ANAREC, directly criticized the Ministry of Energy, accusing it of profiting from taxes on gas. This accusation arises in the context of an alleged fiscal exploitation of consumers during the crisis period.
According to the title and tenor of the article, the Government is said to have collected millions of euros through these taxes during the crisis, raising questions about transparency and fiscal justice in the implemented energy policies.
ANAREC thus emerges as a critical voice against the Executive's policies, defending that taxpayers are not benefiting from the tax reduction that has been publicly announced.
