Redução da carga tributária aplicada ao segmento atacadista e varejista de calçados do Estado do Ceará

Abstract

The reduction of the tax burden has been one of the main tools used by the Brazilian states in order to benefit companies established in their territories, with the objective of protecting the local market and especially the generation of employment. The Government of Ceará, imbued with this purpose, promoted the reduction of the tax burden applied to the segments of Wholesale and Retail Footwear, using the systematic replacement tax with a aggregate of 55%, which is on average 24% lower that the rate of Additives practiced by such segments. In this work, through empirical tests, we will attest if the benefit granted promoted the extension of the tax base as a way to compensate the reduction of the tax burden.
