What does the Brazilian Congress Approve in Tax Matters

Link to full Working Paper

We evaluated parliamentarians’ proposals between 1989 and 2020 to unravel the politicians’ interest in tax matters. During this period, 4,841 legislative proposals – bills, provisional measures or proposed amendments to the Constitution – dealing with tax matters were submitted to the Chamber of Deputies. However, according to the classification of a supervised algorithm (machine learning), only 5% of all legislative proposals on tax matters presented to the House in the period can be classified as progressive.
