Federal Supreme Court (STF) minister Cristiano Zanin responded to a government request and suspended this Thursday (25) sections of the law that extended the payroll tax exemption for companies and municipalities until 2027.
The request from the Attorney General’s Office was sent to the STF on Wednesday (24).

The minister agreed with the government’s argument that the resignation cannot be given without indicating the budgetary impact. According to Zanin, without this forecast there is a risk of a significant imbalance in public accounts and even the emptying of the tax regime.
