We consider a proposal that reduces by half the taxes on homesteaded properties and replaces the lost revenue by increasing the base and rate of the state sales tax. We develop a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model and a microsimulation model (MSM) to analyze the economic and welfare effects of such a proposal if adopted in Georgia. The results from the CGE model suggest that the proposed reforms have a substantial negative effect in percentage terms on Georgia’s economy. The MSM suggests that such a policy has no effect on the distribution of consumption by income class but increases the percentage of owner-occupied housing relative to rental housing by 20 percent in the aggregate.

State tax reform is fundamentally different than federal tax reform. States are continually modifying their taxes to meet revenue challenges and to cope with the changing structure of the national and regional economy. Most state tax reforms are modest affairs and not major rewrites of the tax codes. Reforms must consider the existing institutional structure of the state, state economic policies, and current state politics. Nonetheless, there are some common themes in reforms across the states, including an expansion of the sales tax base to include services and a broadening of the base for income taxation.

<p>The article analyzes, in an exploratory manner, the likely impacts of the Bolsonaro Government's economic agenda on growth and social inclusion by examining it in the light of a global context characterized by financialization and a domestic scenario dominated by stagnation. To this end, it highlights the main axes of this agenda and their possible effects: first, a fiscal effect encompassing the pension and the tax reforms and the new tax regime, including in the latter a proposal for radical untying of some former obligatory spending from the government budget; second, macroeconomic and financial effects, including the independence of the Central Bank, foreign exchange liberalization and a new financing pattern in which the dismantling of public banks is part; lastly, productive and distributive effects, including trade liberalization, privatization, infrastructure policy, the new round of labor reform and the minimum wage policy.</p>
