Finance minister told Valor subsidy could reach R$0.35 per liter, depending on oil price fluctuations in coming days<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Finance Minister Dario Durigan said on Wednesday (27) in an exclusive interview with Valor that he is working under the assumption that the government will subsidize diesel next week, as the current exemption on federal fuel taxes is set to expire on Sunday (31). He said the subsidy could reach R$0.35 per liter, depending on fluctuations in Brent crude prices over the coming days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cToday, I am working with the idea of maintaining the current subsidy at R$0.35, but that still needs to be assessed,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery day matters because [Brent prices] have been highly volatile, and we need to calibrate the measure, including to protect fiscal accounts,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The diesel subsidy will be necessary because the complementary bill that would allow the government to grant tax exemptions on fuels has not yet been approved by Congress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Durigan stressed that the government will not use the additional revenue generated by oil prices to improve fiscal results. The goal, he said, is to mitigate the effects of the war on the population and economic sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMy role here is not just about fiscal policy. Of course, that is my primary role\u2014to take care of the country\u2019s fiscal situation\u2014but not only that. I also need to ensure the country appears in the UNDP [United Nations Development Programme] report, as happened yesterday [Tuesday] for the first time, reaching the level of very high human development, which involves longevity, education, and income.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Monday, the UNDP announced that Brazil had reached the category of very high human development for the first time in history, with an index of 0.805 in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the interview with Valor, the minister also said the Finance Ministry is working on a proposal to raise the revenue ceiling for qualification as an Individual Microentrepreneur (MEI), in line with an agreement reached between the federal government and the Chamber of Deputies. The adjustment would apply only to MEIs, not to companies under the Simples Nacional tax regime. As a result, the fiscal impact would remain below R$10 billion, according to Durigan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe will implement this [increase in the MEI ceiling] gradually. I still don\u2019t know whether it will happen in 2027 or 2028, but probably along those lines,\u201d he said. Currently, the annual revenue ceiling for MEIs is R$81,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the minister, the proposal would also allow MEIs to hire two employees instead of only one, as currently permitted. In addition, he said he would like to use the bill to correct other distortions, such as requiring small companies that hire more than five MEIs to contribute to the social security system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I can take to Speaker Hugo,\u201d he said, referring to Brazil\u2019s Lower House speaker, Hugo Motta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The bill currently under discussion in the Chamber, already approved by the Senate, is broader and includes adjustments for individual microentrepreneurs, microenterprises, and small businesses. According to estimates by the economic team, the proposal would have a fiscal impact of R$48.5 billion in 2027 and R$53.7 billion in 2028.<\/p>\n
