Os Impactos dos Crimes Tributários na Economia Brasileira

Abstract

This article analyzes the economic effects of tax crimes in Brazil, highlighting how illicit practices such as tax evasion, fraud, and avoidance impact revenue collection, business competitiveness, and state efficiency. Based on literature review and institutional data, the study seeks to understand the macroeconomic implications of these practices and the challenges faced by the legal-tax system in combating them. The findings show that tax crimes undermine essential public policies, increase so- cial inequalities, and cause distortions in the economic environment. The research concludes with a call for legislative and administrative improvements to strengthen prevention and enforcement ef- forts.
