Bruxelas diz que cortar o IRC às empresas é caro e pouco eficaz para estimular o investimento (eco.sapo.pt)

• Broad CIT cuts have a poor track record in driving capital investment.
• Fiscal impact outweighs economic gains in most observed scenarios.
• Shift recommended toward targeted investment incentives.

"A new technical study by European Commission economists suggests that across-the-board corporate income tax (CIT) cuts are an expensive and ineffective method for stimulating business investment. The research indicates that while tax competition remains a popular political tool, it often results in significant revenue losses without triggering corresponding private investment growth. The findings advocate for prioritizing targeted support mechanisms over broad-based fiscal measures to foster industrial resilience."
