Flávio Bolsonaro.
Good evening, Santa Catarina.
My friend Hélio, thank you for having this federation of Brazilian entrepreneurs.
I felt very much at home here.
Mayor Topar, I want to greet all the mayors present here as well.
And here, my friends, Carlos Bolsonaro, our pre-candidates for the Federal Senate, together with Joaquim Melo, my friend, pre-candidate for governor.
This is the ticket supported by Bolsonaro here in Santa Catarina.
Brazil doesn't send us to Brasília and we'll solve everything, Joaquim.
He came here in the car giving me some tips.
He said, 'look, I'm going to use the adjective he affectionately uses when addressing me.'
Look, when you get there, there's a really nice guy, it's Hélio.
Get there, just speak well of him and everyone will applaud you.
I've already seen that he's really a good guy, Hélio.
Congratulations to these committed, serious people, committed to the causes of entrepreneurs.
And besides being a good guy, he asks.
I've already been asked for a bunch of things; he even pulled my ear because I mentioned the little electricity fee, that I was going to remove the little electricity fee.
And I'll tell you, I think you were on the right track and I want to agree with you.
About: reduce State intervention in business activity
How we value our... our Brazilian entrepreneur is by getting the State off the back of those who produce and create jobs.
About: reduce State intervention in business activity
And that's what we're going to do.
About: send a new tax reform to the National Congress
I want to begin my transition, God willing, after the election results, already sending to the National Congress a new tax reform.
A tax reform.
About: approve a fiscal reform
I fought there as a senator for this to happen.
About: change tax legislation
And we're going to change the law, because it's in the law.
About: reduce taxes with measures to offset revenue loss
Jorge, furthermore, you can't lower the tax without saying how you will offset that loss of revenue.
About: reduce taxes on fuels
This will change because President Bolsonaro proved that with a modern government, with a government that doesn't steal, with a lean government, with a digitized government, you can lower taxes and revenue will increase.
And the consequences are wonderful for everyone.
Today it's profitable for those who have money saved.
About: reduce bureaucracy and burdens for entrepreneurs
Instead of entrepreneuring, they put it in a CDB, put it in some fixed income to yield 15, 17% a year, which is better than taking the risk of running the enterprise, of expanding your business, or of opening a new business, which will give you, I don't know, 17, 20% a year, a bunch of headaches managing people, collecting taxes, paying an accountant, filing income tax, of over-scrutiny, of over-persecution.
And I speak very calmly, because I know it doesn't seem like it; I even apologize for my attire, because I didn't know I was coming here to give a speech, I didn't know there would be so many people, but for me it is a great honor to address you. I'm not some youngster here, but I'm already 45 years old, about 24 years in public life, four terms as a deputy from Rio de Janeiro, one term as a senator of the Republic, being four years as a senator, alongside President Bolsonaro, participating in decision-making, directly or indirectly, that impacted the lives of all of us.
And I'm someone who has an MBA in Public Policy and Government, and I also have a specialization in entrepreneurship and new businesses.
- Neutral
About: reduce legal uncertainty and stabilize rules for entrepreneurs
So I know what an important business is, which is so vulnerable to legal uncertainty.
- Neutral
About: reduce legal uncertainty and stabilize rules for entrepreneurs
It changes all the time.
- Neutral
About: reduce legal uncertainty and stabilize rules for entrepreneurs
Whether by the Supreme Federal Tribunal or by the National Congress, where a large part of the parliamentarians — I'm an eyewitness to this — have no clue what it is to undertake in this country.
- Against
About: unify federal taxes
And if this madness that the National Congress promotes in tax matters, which I vote against, starts to truly take effect as of January next year, we'll have the highest value-added tax in the world.
- Neutral
About: unify federal taxes
They're guessing around 27%; it'll reach 30% because of the exemptions that occurred.
- Against
About: unify federal taxes
In the parameter of doing a neutral tax reform, before it meant absolutely nothing.
- Against
About: unify federal taxes
You combined taxes and created new ones.
About: reduce state intervention in the economy
A government that at every moment tries to control and interfere in private initiative, trying to regulate by decree, creating new taxes, you see what it just did to try to contain some fuel prices.
About: facilitate import of petroleum derivatives to increase competition
Instead of increasing competition, instead of facilitating the import of petroleum derivatives, as I said, gasoline, since we only produce here about 80% of what we consume.
- Neutral
About: reduce exposure to international oil price fluctuations
I am, yes, suffering the impact of fluctuations in the price of oil abroad.
