Reduction in footwear import tax may affect the sector

Data presented by Abicalcados in the Senate Social Affairs Committee, presented a possible reduction in the import tax of sports footwear. The proposed reduction threatens the sector because it can cause unemployment. The reduction of the tax also reaches other sectors, although it begins in footwear, it can also reach other products. The tax that today is 35% would fall to 20%, if it enters into force will bring consequences to the sector and to the Brazilian economy in general. FONTE: NH Journal
