Abstract

The present paper examines critically the recent Green Value Added Tax implementation in the state of Pará. The Green Value Added Tax is seen as an Ecological Value Added Tax skill, which changes the criteria for redistribution of the Value Added Tax revenue belonging to municipalities, based on environmental factors. This redistribution criteria was adopted as an action among others to reduce Amazon deforestation. After presenting the history and general characteristics of the Ecological ICMS policy implemented in other Brazilian states, the paper studies the normative modeling of Pará´s Green Value Added Tax, analyzing, therefore, some consequences resulting from the practical application of such standards, highlighting the paradoxes observed in relation to the goal of reducing Amazon deforestation.
