A importância do Carnaval Carioca na arrecadação tributária e no fomento da economia do município do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The present work aims to address the Rio de Janeiro carnival as a manifestation encompassed by the concept of cultural heritage, its vital importance in the tax collection of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, and for the creative economy of the country. To carry out the study in question, the concept of cultural heritage and its intangible bias will be presented throughout the work, as well as the protection provided by international legislation for cultural assets. On another perspective, still within the framework of protective legislation for cultural heritage, the main legal frameworks in Brazil that aim to protect cultural assets will be discussed, starting with our highest law, the Federal Constitution. Finally, the final part of the manuscript will demonstrate, with scientific data from the Rio de Janeiro City Hall and other research sources, how relevant the Rio de Janeiro carnival is for the economy and tax collection of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro.
