The President of the National Association of Automotive vehicle manufacturers (Anfavea), Luiz Moan, (24) said today that, despite fears of economic slowdown, the industry is optimistic about sales of cars in 2013. ' The Anfavea is not on the wave of bad mood prevailing, "he said. According to him, the numbers computed by the entity in July pointed out that sales of vehicles at the close of the month may outweigh the monthly average of 300 thousand units of the first half.
According to Anfavea, in the first six months of this year 1.85 million cars were got their plates. The number surpassed the record for the first half of 2011, 1.73 million plates issued. Against the grain of the results of the domestic industry, the Brazilian Association of automobile importing companies (Abeiva) released this week that imports of vehicles fell 23% from January to June 2013 in comparison with the same period last year. The imported cars are being impacted by the appreciation of the dollar, which has closed the House of r $ 2,20.
Moan gave the statements in visit to the Ministry of finance to meet with the Federal Revenue Secretary, Carlos Alberto Barreto. According to the President of Anfavea, the meeting was to discuss adjustments in regulation of Innovate-Auto, government program that grants credits to be slaughtered in the payment of the tax on industrialized products (IPI) by industry actions such as investment in research and in the manufacture of less polluting cars.
According to the President of Anfavea, no need to set the form of accounting credits for investments in research and technology. "We are proposing the credit appropriation of IPI with two months of lag. In the month, you can not know exactly what was the value of the investment [in search], "he said. According to him, since the Innovate-Auto entered into force, the industry has been sending the report of investment within that period of two months without having a legal framework supporting the practice. According to the entrepreneur the Government was receptive to the suggestion. "The program [Innovate-Auto] is working since January, with some missing regulations," said Luiz Moan.
