Brazil Tax Reform: Split Payment Reversal Claimed, Selective Tax Delayed Post-Election
Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio has claimed he will reverse the tax reform's split payment mechanism if elected, citing harm to corporate working capital. This claim is contested by Finance Minister Durigan, who has publicly rebuffed the proposal.
