The Finance Minister Mario Centeno said Monday that the IRS brackets will be updated, remembering that have been updated this year once, refusing the criticism of the opposition that its maintenance would mean raising taxes.
 

“The IRS earners will not only be updated as have been updated this year once. I do not understand how says no updates of levels, “said the minister in parliament, which is being heard in the specialty debate on the draft State Budget for 2016 (OE2016).

Mario Centeno answer the questions raised by deputy PSD Duarte Pacheco, who accused the government to raise taxes for not updating the tax levels on income people tax (IRS).

“When talking about fiscal stability, not know how mr. Minister can make a statement without laughing. Even in taxes where they say does not change the rates change everything else. The IRS, do not just update the ranks, something that should be done every year or according inflation or wage increases, so people pay more taxes and this is what you are prepared to do, “he accused the deputy social- democrat.

the statements of Duarte Pacheco deserved after also critical of the deputy PS John Galamba, who said that “IRS echelons were not updated since 2012″.

the increase in the tax burden back to the debate, with the PSD to criticize the “huge tax increase” and the finance minister to refute the criticism: “the tax rate update is identified rate, tax tax. The rest is due to the economic activity, “said Mario Centeno

On the other hand, Mr João Galamba criticized the PSD that have used the tax revenue to say that there are tax increases:.” It was like saying that Vítor Gaspar [former finance minister of the previous government PSD / CDS-PP] had not increased taxes because revenue fell, and that 2015 had also been brutal tax increases, as revenue rose. “
