Urgent Fiscal Development and Sustainability Project at risk of being filed in the National Assembly
It is a strange coincidence that the two authorities of the commission are not in the last stage of processing the project, said legislator César Rohón (former PSC), a member of the table who questioned that the observations made in the plenary session are not discussed in the commission, but rather that the government sector prepares the report in an external office, without the participation of the assembly members.

This Friday 26, the table was convened at 09:00 to approve the report and then it must be reported to the plenary in the session called for 11:00.

It also determines a unique special contribution on large estates and certain companies to boost the national economy after the pandemic; the restructuring of certain taxes, to improve the sustainability of public finances, and a temporary regime applicable to undeclared assets abroad.
With the proposal, according to the Executive, it aspires to have a collection of $ 1,900 million in the next two years, but according to the political positions of the legislators that figure will decrease due to the adjustments that they intend to include in the tax on individuals.
The legislative allies of the government, this is Pachakutik and the Democratic Left, make objections to the tax base of the people, these two sectors that gather at least 40 votes, point out that the tax to the people must start for those people who earn a higher salary at $ 3,500 per month.
