The president of the National Association of Companies and Industries Herrera (ANEIH), Noel Ureña Ceballos, criticized that the Government wants to surprise with a tax reform, without being consensual and ignoring that it had been agreed to make a fiscal pact in the Economic and Social Council (CES).
Review spending
He warned that the Electricity Pact must first be concluded and then the Fiscal Pact must be addressed, not a reform or patches and even less just talk about increasing taxes. Stated that the entity advocates the initiation of the dialogue of the Fiscal Pact And it surprises him that they want to start quickly and without availing themselves of the steps already agreed between the public and private sectors.
“We call on the good sense of the Government to return to the original plan, a Fiscal Pact, in which all sectors, private, public, civil society and political parties participate if they want to participate. But the priority is to review both the government’s income and expenditures, ”he said.
“A reform cannot be applied by surprise but by consensus. The Government should not speak of reform but of a pact, as has always been stipulated. And not a reform to only collect taxes, but also address public spending, “he said.
