Abstract

When the issue is the tax planning, the considerations refer, almost automatically, only to the interests of taxpayers, who trust their managers the administration of their patrimonies. Meanwhile, the tax planning is a tool also essential for public administrators, who are responsible for management of the patrimony of the community. Considering the public manager s vision about the tax planning, which was called optic of the state, this study aimed to bring the active debt in the municipalities of the state of Rio de Janeiro to the center of the discussion, giving it a more financial focus. We analyzed financial data from official bodies, seeking to verify the relationship between the collection of active debt, the precepts of the Law of Fiscal Responsibility and the taxpayer s behavior caused by the position of taxcollector agent. Therefore, the methodology has been divided into two different approaches (moments). In the first moment, was developed a classification form for the receipt levels of active debt in the cities, structured on the adaptation of the criteria established by the Brazilian Association of Public Budget (ABOP). The second moment, were used, also adapted so, the parameters developed by the Secretariat of the National Treasury (STN) for analysis of the municipal finances in Brazil. The results suggest that most of the local authorities are infringing the LRF end that there is influence in the behavior of the taxpayers.
