Resumo: The Covid‑19 pandemic outbreak has led to an increasing interest in Universal Basic Income (UBI) proposals, as it exposed the inadequacy of traditional welfare systems to provide basic financial security to a large share of the population. In this paper, we use a static tax-benefit microsimulation model to analyse the fiscal and distributional effects of the hypothetical implementation in Brazil of alternative UBI schemes that partially replace the existing tax-transfer system. The results indicate that introducing a UBI/Flat Tax system in the country could be both extremely effective in reducing poverty and inequality and economically viable.

Neste artigo, utilizamos um modelo estático de microsimulação de tributos e benefícios sociais para analisar os efeitos fiscais e distributivos da hipotética implementação no Brasil de esquemas alternativos de UBI que substituem parcialmente o sistema de transferências e de impostos existente. Os resultados indicam que a introdução de um sistema de UBI/Imposto Uniforme no país poderia ser extremamente eficaz na redução da pobreza e desigualdade e economicamente viável.IE-UFRJ2023-11-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufrj.br/index.php/rec/article/view/62004Revista de Economia Contemporânea; Rev.
