Protesters displayed banners, balloons, and flags, while police maintained order. The tax reform proposal, submitted to the Chamber of Deputies, has sparked concern across various sectors. The reform seeks to eliminate advance payments for individuals and micro-enterprises, introduce salary increases, and impose a single 18% VAT rate, exempting basic products like bread and rice. Other measures include a 100% increase in the vehicle circulation tax and changes to taxes on alcoholic and sugary beverages based on alcohol and sugar content.

If approved, the reform would also eliminate tax exemptions for specific goods and services, adding further pressure on taxpayers.
