BRASILIA (Reuters) – Brazil’s government is considering clarifying the size of each company’s tax benefits as part of a campaign to end tax exemptions and improve public finances, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said in an interview with newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo published on Monday.<\/p>\n

Haddad stated that the current leadership of Brazil’s revenue service, under leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, believes that this broad disclosure does not violate legal issues.<\/p>\n

“We are in talks with the solicitor general’s office as we need to specify the tax benefits for each company’s registration,” he told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Haddad reiterated that the government wants to reduce tax waivers, estimated at 600 billion reais ($118 billion), by a quarter, or 150 billion reais. <\/p>\n

He also said he supports a change in the inflation target system, suggesting a “continuous target” rather than the current January-December calendar approach. “At the appropriate time, I believe this issue will be revisited,” he said.<\/p>\n
