BRASILIA, Oct 14 (Reuters) – Brazil's government will start discussing on Wednesday measures to offset Congress's shelving of a proposal that would overhaul taxation on investments while also raising taxes on betting companies and fintechs, Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Tuesday. Speaking at the Senate's Economic Affairs Committee, Haddad said that lawmakers had expressed interest in finding ways to correct and replace the dropped proposal, adding that betting firms must contribute to addressing the side effects of a form of entertainment that can lead to addiction.
