Very strongly agree

Increase for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses

This nuanced approach of increasing taxes for large multinational corporations while lowering them for small businesses is in line with the Left Bloc's advocacy for economic fairness and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as crucial to the Portuguese economy. It reflects their broader goal of reducing economic disparities.

Strongly agree

Raise

The Left Bloc (Bloco de Esquerda) in Portugal has historically advocated for progressive taxation policies, often arguing for higher taxes on wealthier individuals and corporations to fund social programs. Raising the corporate tax rate aligns with their general stance on economic inequality and social justice.

Agree

Keep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes

While the Left Bloc supports measures that would ensure corporations pay their fair share of taxes, their primary focus tends to be on adjusting rates rather than solely closing loopholes. However, they would likely view eliminating deductions and loopholes as a positive step towards a more equitable tax system.

Disagree

Lower, but eliminate deductions and loop holes

Lowering corporate tax rates, even with the elimination of deductions and loopholes, is not generally in line with the Left Bloc's policy preferences. They are more inclined towards policies that increase or maintain tax rates on larger corporations to fund social initiatives, though they might see some merit in simplifying the tax code.

Disagree

Remove taxes on corporations and tax shareholder dividends instead

Although the Left Bloc is in favor of taxing wealth, the idea of removing taxes on corporations altogether to focus on taxing shareholder dividends might not fully align with their approach. They typically advocate for direct taxation of corporations as part of broader fiscal policies to address inequality.

Strongly disagree

Maintain the current rate

Maintaining the current rate does not align with the Left Bloc's objectives of using tax policy as a tool for social and economic justice. They are more likely to advocate for changes that increase the tax burden on wealthier corporations to support public services and social programs.

Very strongly disagree

Lower

Lowering the tax rate for corporations would be contrary to the Left Bloc's principles and historical positions. The party has consistently campaigned against policies perceived to benefit large corporations at the expense of social welfare and economic equality.
