Abstract

The Federal Constitution of 1988 brought important normative advances to urban policy, which includes the progressive property taxation (IPTU). Used as a tax revenue instrument, the IPTU also has extra-fiscal purposes. Considering the real estate market’s dynamics, the inadequate management of this tax does not represent only a tax revenue loss but also the negligence of city halls in using an urban policy instrument. This article presents some evidences of the untapped collection potential of IPTU, which is the main tax levied on real estates, using Rio de Janeiro’s cities as a reference.
