Tributação e distribuição de renda no Brasil: novas evidências a partir de dados da DIRPF

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMO

Este texto faz uma análise crítica da tributação da renda e do lucro no Brasil, mostrando como medidas adotadas nas décadas de 1980 e 1990, por recomendação do mainstream, restringiram o papel redistributivo do imposto de renda. Analisando dados tributários, verifica-se elevado grau de concentração de renda no topo da distribuição, baixa progressividade e violação dos princípios da equidade horizontal e vertical. A principal razão destas distorções é a isenção integral dos dividendos a acionistas, privilégio atípico nos países desenvolvidos. Propõe-se recuperar uma agenda de reforma tributária focada na progressividade, tema que voltou ao debate com (Piketty, 2014Piketty, T. 2014. Capital in the XXI century. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.).
