Productive sector critical package to keep jobs in Paraná

Members of the governing coalition yesterday submitted a draft amendment to State Constitution which stipulates the creation or maintenance of jobs as a condition for granting tax incentives to companies in Parana. The proposal responds to a request made last week by Governor Roberto Requiao, who was troubled with layoffs at firms that receive special tax treatment for investing in the state.

The initiative was headed by the leader of the government of the Legislative Assembly, Luiz Cláudio Romanelli (PMDB), and supported by 36 other congressmen who signed the referral of the project. In justification, the deputies argued that the open hand of state revenue to provide future benefits, and that there should be a consideration of the private sector through the maintenance of jobs.

According to lawyers heard by Gazeta do Povo, the writing of the project leads to the interpretation that its application will not be retroactive. Thus, companies that have received benefits for investing in Paraná were not required to maintain jobs.

To representatives of the productive sector, the project needs to be better discussed in that it does not become a disincentive to investment. "In principle, the idea is not wrong because it is encouraging the government can demand whatever you want," said Roberto Karam, president of the Union of Industry of metal Paraná (Sindimetal). "The problem is that the project would create a barrier to the use of benefits. Few companies would run the risk of being unable to set the framework for employees in a time of economic crisis. "

Ardisson Akel, Chairman of Federation of Associations of Industrial and Commercial Paraná (Faciap) makes similar evaluation. He said the government understood the concern but notes that a very rigid rule zoom out from investment disputes with other states. "We must assess the law and the regulations. There are times when companies need to adapt production capacity to survive. "

According to Benedicto Kubrusly Jr., president of Sindipeças the proposal in the Assembly will conduct in the opposite direction to the measures that the industry needs to address the crisis, as the reduction of labor costs. "This crisis requires more balance in the conduct of economic policy. We must play more to the team than for the fans, "criticizes.

The Federation of Industries of Paraná (Fiep) informed, through his office of the press, which will await the course of the project and then make comments.

Logic

The granting of tax occurs in a context of competition between states to attract investments. "The idea is that the incentive is offset by the generation of jobs within the company and its suppliers," explains Paula Nelson Luiz de Oliveira, vice president of the Brazilian Institute of Finance Executives of Paraná (Ibef-PR). "The change in labor force over time is normal, I do not know how they can be prevented by the Constitution State."

Economist Sidnei Pereira do Nascimento, a professor at the University of Londrina (UEL) specializing in tax war, suggests that the benefits are always accompanied by the generation of jobs in the long term. "But generally the encouragement of small businesses have a lower cost per seat up and is more efficient," he says.

"Goodness"
See which are the major tax benefits in the Paraná, according to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

Good Jobs

It is a program that gives more time to pay the VAT of the first four years of operation of the company. The percentage of tax that may be paid in the longer term depends on the region where the company invests. Cities with Human Development Index (HDI) lower offer better conditions for the installation of companies.

Micro

The state reduced the VAT for micro and small enterprises included in the National Singles. Applies to firms with revenues up to R $ 2.4 million a year - those with revenue of up to $ 360 thousand are exempt from tax.

Shopping internal

There is a delay of 6 percentage points in VAT paid on transactions within the Paraná. Thus, it focuses on sales tax falls from 18% to 12% and the difference is only added when the product reaches the consumer.

Imports

The laws of the state provides for VAT exemption for imports of capital goods and inputs for production.

Energy

There is a deferred payment of VAT in the electricity used in the first 24 months of operation of businesses. Thus, they gain more time to remove the tribute.
