G4 Valley 2026, a meeting of businesspeople that runs until October 31st at São Paulo Expo, began with a speech by Tallis Gomes against taxes. According to Money Times, the event brings together more than 25 thousand people and is presented as the largest meeting of businesspeople in Brazil. Tallis is CEO of G4 Educação and founder of Easy Taxi, and gave the opening speech of the program.
The opening took place in an environment marked by the polarization of the October elections, with an atmosphere of « us against them » that, according to the report, permeated the beginning of the event. The meeting took place after the re-election of Lula (PT), on Sunday (10/25), in a dispute that divided the country.
Before Tallis spoke, a video shown on stage stated that the entrepreneur would win «despite them». According to Money Times, the phrase was said by the video, and not by the manager, a detail that helps separate the message of the event's production from the personal position of those who took the stage.
The title of the report summarizes the central part of the speech: Tallis Gomes criticized taxes. The source does not detail, in the facts found, which taxes or proposals were mentioned, which limits the reading of the exact scope of the criticism.
The case is important because it shows how the tax debate is entering business discourse in the middle of the campaign. For a public that defends fiscal responsibility and lower taxes, the message that entrepreneurs need to win despite the tax system is a sign of the mood of part of the business community on the eve of the definition of the next government.
What changes for the investor
An event with 25 thousand participants does not, in itself, change fiscal or tax policy, and nothing in the material collected indicates concrete measures. Even so, the combination of electoral polarization and open criticism of the tax burden tends to weigh on the mood of stock market, interest and foreign exchange investors, especially in periods of direction definition. Those who follow companies and sectors sensitive to the fiscal agenda can observe whether this type of discourse starts to appear in candidates' proposals and in the decisions of the elected government, which are the points that actually change pricing.
