The Brazilian government is considering reviving a financial transaction tax known as the CPMF to try to narrow a large fiscal gap in 2016, three leading newspapers reported on Thursday.
A plan to recreate the CPMF is part of the budget proposal for 2016 that is being discussed by President Dilma Rousseff and her economic team, papers Valor Economico, O Estado de S.Paulo and O Globo said.
The finance ministry did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
