The Chamber of Deputies met this Tuesday in a plenary session of committees that defined the final text of the Bases law and the fiscal package. After the approval achieved with modifications in the Senate, it will seek to recompose the Income and Personal Assets tax in the session next Thursday at 12 noon. In dialogue with Hoja de Ruta, the national deputy of the Unión por la Patria bloc, Jorge Antonio Romero, pointed out that: “The Bases Law is detrimental to Corrientes in every sense.”
As he indicated: “We are going to support the Senate’s modifications in the fiscal package. The ruling party maintains that it has to be voted on with what came out in Deputies. We are going to vote so that the Income Tax is not restored to workers and so that “The Personal Property Tax is reduced for the wealthiest sectors.”
The project promoted by the Executive will be discussed tomorrow in the Lower House, along with the fiscal package. Yesterday, and as part of the agreement between the ruling party and the dialogue opposition blocks, the committee resolved to accept all the modifications made by the senators, with the exception of some points
Regarding the numbers, Romero said that: “It is very difficult, it is possible that it will be insisted on because if we take into account that the necessary number is a simple majority, if all the dialogue blocks comply with the agreement they made with the Executive, I understand that the law is going to insist as it came out of Deputies”.
“The law is still as bad as it was in the beginning. We are going to vote in the same way that we voted in the House of Representatives. We are going to vote against it in general and approve the modifications established by the Senate,” he said.
Regarding the impact of this project, which could be approved and turned into law this Thursday, he said that: “For the Province of Corrientes it is harmful in every sense, that is why we said and opposed it from the beginning.”
He explained that: “The issue that income taxes favor the province because it is co-participatory, but we must keep in mind that if one makes a balance between what is collected through income taxes and what is left tax on personal property, we find that more is lost by reducing taxes on personal property than is collected from income taxes.
