Desconto no ISP custou mais de 600 milhões em 2025

Estimativa é avançada pela UTAO. Alívio fiscal temporário no ISP terá sido a medida do pacote anti-inflação com "maior encargo" para os cofres do Estado no ano passado. UTAO acusa Governo de não divulgar impacto da medida e lembra que permanência dos descontos no ISP contraria orientações de Bruxelas.
