Brazil Congress delays commission for ‘taxa das blusinhas’ import tax MP
The Brazilian National Congress has postponed the installation of a joint parliamentary commission tasked with analyzing the provisional measure (MP) known as the ‘taxa das blusinhas’. This measure temporarily eliminates the 20% federal import tax on international online purchases of up to US$ 50.
The delay stems from a lack of consensus regarding the selection of the commission's president and rapporteur. If the MP is not approved by both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate by September 8, the 20% import tax will automatically be reinstated on September 9.
While the commission for the import tax was delayed, Congress successfully installed five other commissions to analyze various provisional measures. These include legislation regarding the renegotiation of debts for rural producers, the reduction of INSS benefit analysis queues, and updates to the Traffic Code for motorcycle professionals.
