Brazil Finance Minister Warns Tax Agency Will Face Electoral Scrutiny

Brazil's Finance Minister Dario Durigan said the Receita Federal will be 'scrutinized' and 'attacked' during the electoral campaign, framing the agency as an 'intelligence platform of the Brazilian state.' He questioned whether critics side with taxing offshore and closed funds or with those holding 'Master' accounts offshore. This signals a political battle over tax policy ahead of elections, with implications for fiscal reform momentum.
