Brazil’s real surged on Friday after the country’s newly-introduced tax reform bill was passed by the lower house of parliament on Friday. The currency was also boosted by a weakening dollar following the latest U.S. jobs report.

The real advanced by 1.1%, thereby driving a 0.6% jump for the MSCI index for Latam currencies. This rise comes as the tax reform bill is set to be introduced to the Senate for further voting.

“The approval of a long-awaited tax reform bill by Brazil’s lower house of congress suggests that hopes for growth-friendly reforms during Lula’s term aren’t dead,” Kimberley Sperrfechter, emerging markets economist at Capital Economics, observed.

Part of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s plan to boost Brazil’s economic growth, the reforms are aimed at simplifying the nation’s complex consumption tax laws.

Despite its recent uptick, the real is still headed for a weekly loss of 1.6%; its largest downfall in the last 11 weeks.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service is set to hire 30,000 new staff members over the next two years as it deploys a new $80 billion investment plan that is aimed at improving both tax enforcement and customer service, the tax agency confirmed on Thursday.

Called the Strategic Operating Plan, the plan will involve the deployment of at least $8.64 billion in funds over the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, during which time 8,782 new jobs are expected to be added.

U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told reporters that “the IRS is going to hire more data scientists than they ever have for enforcement purposes.” These employees would assist traditional tax attorneys and revenue agents in identifying audit targets through the use of data analytics.

According to the 148-page Strategic Operating Plan, the IRS will hire 13,883 full-time staff over the next two-year period. This includes over 4,700 enforcement staff.

The British pound fell by 0.6% to $1.1170 on Friday; its lowest level against the US dollar since 1985. The currency remained stable against the euro at 87.40 pence per euro. This comes ahead of an expected announcement of a decline in British tax rates.

Britain’s new finance minister is expected to announce on Friday tax cuts and energy subsidies of up to 200 billion pounds ($225 billion). Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, the developer of these policies, hopes that they will boost growth and break a “cycle of stagnation”. Kwarteng is expected to address the British parliament at 0830 GMT on Friday morning.

Derek Halpenny, head of research at MUFG, observed that such policies may lead to further weakening of the pound, while Bank of England policymaker Jonathan Haskel remarked that the government’s expansionary fiscal policy seems to be at odds with the central bank’s strategy to cool inflationary pressures.

In the face of potential tax cuts and energy subsidies, 55% of international banks and research consultancies polled by Reuters expressed high confidence that British assets would deteriorate significantly over the next three months.

When it comes to controversial topics in the U.S. economy, it’s hard to find one that’s more touchy to the country’s citizens than that taxes. People who are already on edge become even more so when it comes to taxes, especially when their very own businesses are under fire as a result.

People in the business community probably hate taxes the most, which is why tensions rose dramatically when a new bill was recently suggested. A new 1% tax law that would help share buybacks sparked a bit of outrage among citizens, and certainly a lot of divides as well.

That’s where billionaire Mark Cuban comes into the picture.

The famous entrepreneur and Shark Tank star has always been open about the fact that he doesn’t like buybacks and has even gone on record to say that they’re “not good for most employees of the companies that do” them.

So when this new law was put into question, pending a vote, Cuban continued to express his disdain over the topic. Through a series of passionate tweets, Cuban explained pretty clearly that he doesn’t agree with this law if it were to become official.

And by looking at many of the comments on Twitter, it looks as though many people completely agree with him.
