Payroll exemption not only guarantees millions of jobs, but also enables Brazilian companies to retain talent. Today, many professionals are being harassed by foreign companies with salaries in dollars, due to the very high labor charges, Brazilian companies are unable to compete. The migration of these talents will directly impact the competitiveness of Brazilian companies, as well as Brazil itself in the next 5 to 10 years.
