The Economy Minister António Pires de Lima, who took the class gave the school boards of the CDS, in Peniche, to verbalize what the party Paulo Portas has tested the discourse of “moderation” tax. The current taxes on labor only understand a “transitional” period and under the assistance program. The minister suggested that the Council of Ministers look at the numbers of the next state budget with “realism.”

                     

                         At the time the preliminary draft of the reform of the IRS is in the public consultation, the Minister of CDS promised not to say anything new or to commit to any proposal. But gave a thought about draws near Christian Democrat around the IRS and how the Council of Ministers should start this discussion.

The IRS reform should give “a sign that defends couples who have children that encourages entrepreneurship, which can also be a sign of moderation in the rate of IRS. ” A moderation with which justifies the non-permanent nature of the current load of the IRS. “We all know that people who live their work with discrete incomes pay taxes on his work that I think are understandable only as a transitional tax burden and a torque of the past few years we live,” he said, before 150 young people participating in cadre school of the CDS.

Although the CDS to be rising tone on taxes, the minister said “refuse to see this debate between the CDS and the PSD” since the PSD “there are voices advocating lowering the tax as soon as possible.”

Assuming that the path “is not easy,” Pires de Lima urged that the debate in the Council of Ministers no table must be precipitated. Should “leave for the discussion with an open mind, look at the numbers realistically to realize the margin we have,” he suggested, adding that “only after this work is complete is that the Council of Ministers will be able” to move rate.

this debate hover the leads of the Constitutional Court (TC) that amount next year to EUR 800 million. “It is what it costs the surcharge [3.5% in IRS] and the contribution of solidarity income above 80,000 euros annually,” he explained.

In contrast, the minister noted that the growth economic was responsible “between tax revenues and savings in Social Security by an increase of EUR 1 500 million,” which prevented further austerity measures to compensate leads TC this year.
