Abstract

This article aims to assess the effects of taxes and inspection on the Brazilian informal sector. A strategy was used for the analysis of transmission channels through a twosector DSGE model that allows the construction of scenarios with the reduction and simplification of taxes, as well as the reduction of inspection of informal firms. The formal product grew in all scenarios of tax rate reduction and, consequently, the aggregate product showed the same behavior. It is worth mentioning the drop in tax collection, up to the fifth period, after the reduction in inspection of the informal sector. And demand for informal work fell after the fall in the rate of taxes on labor and wages.
