The federation is a form of state, nowadays adopted for more than thirty countries, and consists of a territorial division of power between central government and local governments. In Brazil, this division includes a local-state power and a local-municipal power. The federation is asymmetric when the peer entities (local or municipal) are assigned different legal regimes to offset or balance their diversity. The so-called "fiscal federalism" studies the income and expenses of entities that make up a federal state. In Brazil, where it adopted the symmetry between the municipalities. After analyzing the position of the municipality in question in tax (income, expenses and forms of redistribution of resources), it identifies four points that could change rules for its improvement: vertical gap, the fiscal war, criteria for founding new municipalities and metropolitan regions. The proposals made in the thesis are: a paradigm shift symmetry, by introducing a special scheme for municipalities with populations of less than ten thousand inhabitants that the prohibition of new municipalities are created with this size, new criteria and procedures for creating municipalities, establishment of a municipal council, by the Senate; new apportionment fund participation of municipalities, with the creation of metropolitan regions fund, to be created by the Union and managed by councils of the municipalities and participating States, in proportion to its population, area and economy.
