According to the work schedule, legislators hope to approve the report for second debate on November 19
Two sensitive points of the urgent project of Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability would go to definition of the plenary session of the National Assembly, once the report of the second and final debate is known.
This is the tax table that would apply to people who earn a monthly salary of $ 2,500, and the limit of the deductible for personal expenses that in the first debate the ceiling of $ 10,000 was established. It will be the plenary session, by vote, that determines the percentages that would be applied for the tax.
Until 16:30 today the Development Commission, chaired by Assemblyman Daniel Noboa, did not approve the report for second debate due to lack of agreements in the tax table and deductions.
Criticism persists in the urgent law regarding the contribution base of individuals and the percentage of deductions for consumption
The project, according to the Executive, aims to implement measures for the sustainability of public finances, the restructuring of certain taxes that are complex or inefficient, and the creation of mechanisms for evaluating regulations that generate unnecessary, duplicate or unnecessary procedures or processes. inefficient. The projection that the Government has is that with the application of the Law it would collect about $ 1,900 million in two years.
But that figure will decrease by 20% after the debates and observations of legislators, productive sectors and academia, warned the official Francisco Jiménez, as he said that practically 80% of the Executive’s claim is in the report for second debate .
Jimenez indicated that they propose that the tax base for individuals is set at $ 2,600 with a deductible of $ 10,000.
On the other hand, his colleagues Wilma Andrade (ID), César Rohón (before PSC), Christian Yucailla (Pachakutik) and Carlos Zambrano (UNES) support the thesis that the base of the tax table of people should be for those who earn a salary monthly of $ 3,000 and $ 3,500. There are different positions on the deduction limit. (I)
