Abstract:

The increase in tax expenditures is a trend in many countries. In Brazil, the increase in tax expenditures was strong, showing an increase of 47% between 2006 and 2011. Based on data from Latin American countries and the OECD, this paper investigates whether countries with high tax expenditures in relation to budget expenditures have improved performance in the areas of health and education. The results show that the group of Latin America countries spends much more via tax than the OECD countries, with Brazil showing a relatively low relationship between tax expenditures and total expenditures for health and education. In relation to social indicators, this article suggests that countries that use more intensively tax expenditures have systematically worst social indicators in education and health.
