The Minister of Economy praised the “joint work” of the State, companies and unions. The measure will exempt the payment of the Income Tax for the additional ones incorporated into their salaries.
The minister of Economy, Sergio Massahighlighted the “joint work” of companies, unions and the State that led to a Tax relief for nearly 20,000 workers in the fishing sectorwho will be exempted from the payment of Income Tax for the additional ones incorporated into their salaries.
“This achievement is thanks to the joint work between the business chambers, the unions and the State, where through dialogue and effort, a measure was reached that helps workers in the sector have a higher income,” he stressed. Massa on his Twitter account.
In this regard, he specified that due to the agreement reached on May 23 “Nearly 20,000 workers and fishermen on board will have tax relief by being exempted from paying income tax for the extras they make”.
The head of the Palacio de Hacienda pointed out that “fishing is a very sacrificed item, where people spend weeks or months embarked at sea and away from their families.” “For this reason, this is nothing more than a fair recognition of those who put their work and their time at the service of the development of our country,” the minister remarked.
Massa travels to China in search of financing
The Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, will travel to China next Sunday with the aim of seeking new financing for the country given the sustained drop in income that could not be compensated with the “agricultural dollar” and the delayed negotiation with the Monetary Fund International (IMF).
Massa will participate in the BRICS bank meeting to be held on Tuesday May 30 and Wednesday May 31 in Shanghai where it will explore new options to reduce dependence on the dollar as a transaction currency in trade operations.
BRICS is an association of countries made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa that seeks to consolidate an alternative position to the hegemony of the United States.
One of the points to be analyzed is the possibility that the banking institution that groups these nations modifies an article of its statute to allow Argentina to trade through it with Brazil without using dollars.
This was one of the alternatives that arose during the last trip of President Alberto Fernández y Massa to Brazil after the Brazilian president José Inácio “Lula” Da Silva closed the possibility of direct financing of Argentine exports.
For Brazil to implement a swap mechanism similar to the one Argentina has with China, it had to go through Congress, a situation that Lula was not in a position to offer.
