PRSC deputies will request today that the tax reform agreed upon between the government and the business sector should be debated in public hearings in Congress, according to a report in Listin Diario. This proposal will be presented by the PRSC spokesman in the Chamber of Deputies, Ramon Rogelio Genao, who stated that his party’s lawmakers do not endorse the agreement between the business sector and the government. He said the proposal must be modified to protect the interests of the poorest members of society. The PRSC is opposed to creating new taxes and applying VAT (ITBIS) on more than 200 products that are currently exempt from the tax.
