247 - The federal government submitted the 2026 Budget proposal to the National Congress this Friday (29), which foresees the entry of R$ 145,8 billion in conditional and extraordinary revenues. This amount is fundamental for the Executive to achieve the primary surplus target of 0,25% of GDP next year — equivalent to R$ 34,3 billion. Without this budget reinforcement, the government would have to make additional spending cuts to try to balance public accounts. The information is from g1.

The executive secretary of the Ministry of Planning, Dario Durigan, emphasized that, unlike previous years, in 2026 the government is likely to depend less on measures pending in the Legislature to confirm increased revenue.

The budget proposal also reflects measures adopted in recent years, such as the increase in the Tax on Financial Operations (IOF), approved after a court decision and the target of criticism from the productive sector. According to the economic area, part of the revenue expansion is related to reforms implemented in 2023.

Sources of revenue projected by the economic team:

  • Reduction of tax benefitsEstimated at R$19,8 billion, subject to Congressional approval.

  • Reduction of tax offsets: impact of R$ 10 billion, as foreseen in Provisional Measure 1.303

  • Comprehensive Transaction Program (PTI)Renegotiation of tax debts exceeding R$ 50 million, with a projected total of R$ 20 billion.

  • Expansion of Provisional Measure 1.303Expectations of an additional R$11 billion in revenue.

  • Oil auctionsThe Union's participation is expected to yield R$ 31 billion in 2026.

  • Dividends from state-owned companies: projection of R$ 54 billion, mainly from Petrobras
