Abstract: Land in Brazil has always been held by a few families, in the so-called latifundia, and rural activities represent a significant portion of GDP. Despite the socialist government's decades-long campaign promise, the equitable distribution of wealth and land never materialized. Paradoxically, the government further increased land concentration due to tax mismanagement. This article explores the paths that led to this mismanagement of the Rural Land Tax, which has further exacerbated inequality and poverty in Brazil and highlights the injustice of the tax system, which creates privileges for the wealthy at the expense of public revenue, generating an ever-increasing concentration of wealth.
