The talk happened before the end of the year.
It was a reserved meeting in which Sergio Massa and Sergio Palazzo reviewed a broad agenda
, according to sources on both sides.
In the midst of the efforts of the Minister of Economy to promote a parity scheme of around 60% in 2023 and with review clauses, the
banking leader took the opportunity to approach him with several requests
to achieve
relief in the income tax
, such as the one obtained by Truckers.
Palazzo presented his bill to
exempt workers who earn less than $641,070
as well as retirees and pensioners from taxation.
He
reiterated a claim that he had already made in October
, when he requested that the salary increases be accompanied by an increase in the floor that the Executive updates by decree.
And he asked her for a refund of the tax discount on the Christmas bonus.
Massa had already announced at the beginning of December that from January the salary floor from which Earnings are paid will be $404,062 gross ($330,000 net),
bringing "tax relief" to more than 300,000 workers
.
But the increases negotiated in parities due to the
advance of inflation and the "Moyano" factor renewed the demands
to update the tax, especially in activities with higher salaries.
The AFIP regulated this Monday specific benefits for the Truckers union
, by raising deductions for "mobility, per diem and other similar compensation."
These are changes that were provided for in the 2023 Budget Law.
Now, Pablo Moyano also requests the return of the discounts on Earnings for the Christmas bonus
.
"We want the same thing as Moyano", they acknowledge near Palazzo.
After earning a 94.1% pay hike in December, the starting salary for bank staff will rise in January to $230,725, along with a profit share of $6,689.
The union also obtained $185,000 for Banking Day and is now negotiating a bridging amount until March.
If we add to this that the bulk of the employees occupy higher categories and enjoy other benefits,
80% would once again be reached by Earnings this year
.
"The Earnings floor is old because the update that was made is due to the variation of the RIPTE
(average registered salary) of October 2022 versus 2021, it was updated to 78.74% when the variation of the CPI was 88.04%, there 10% was lost and also the inflation of 2022 was 94.8%, with which it is reasonable that the adjustment at least equates to the CPI, that is, the amount is quite far from what it should be," said the tax official Sebastian Dominguez.
Steel industry
The unrest was felt more strongly in the steel industry, where the Villa Constitución branch of the UOM began this Thursday to hold assemblies with plant shutdowns in Acindar,
demanding an exemption in the payment of Profits or compensation from the company.
Although there were negotiations, the measures will continue this Friday and Monday in the steel manufacturer, which could affect the construction and automotive industry.
The union had managed to exclude overtime from the payment of the tax last year, a scheme that this year was not renewed.
As a result of the retention of tasks, the company reportedly began to import steel bars that it manufactures from crude steel.
Last Friday there were measures of force at the Aluar plant for similar reasons.
And at the UOM they are evaluating sending a note to Massa, following the scheme that Aceiteros has.
"If you are under the floor, the concept, salary, overtime, additional hours does not matter.
This floor is already outdated and it will only be adjusted again as of January 2024
, which is why the law should be reformed and adjusted in a minimum way quarterly and due to the variation of the CPI, not of the RIPTE, which has nothing to do with a parameter to tax the Income Tax, because that is a variation of remunerations", said Domínguez.
