Also in this paper, the relevant literature was systematized. Using quarterly data of total tax revenue without hydrocarbons direct tax, VAT (domestic), VAT (import), Transaction Tax and Customs Tax. Most of the estimations shows asymmetric and elastic responses evidences of the tax revenue in the shortrun (volatil) concluding, at most, in a progressive tax system in the long-run with significative asymmetric responses (countercyclical and procyclical) in the short-run.esEconomicsRevenueTax revenueMonetary economicsDatabase transactionValue-added taxInternational economicsWelfare economicsEconometricsMacroeconomicsarticle
