BRASILIA (Reuters) - The Brazilian government wants Congress to pass a bill this week that would tax offshore and closed-end funds, and change an instrument companies use for shareholder payments, a government official said on Tuesday.
The bill, which has to pass both in the lower house and senate, is a key part of the government's plan to boost public revenues to erase its fiscal deficit by next year.
