Abstract

Within the context of contemporary social and environmental crisis and due to the regulation on Ecological Taxes (ICMS-e), Complementary Law 59/1991, the state of Paraná is not only a pioneer in the initiative but is a reference to other States in the establishment of such a tool of public policy. Current article deals with the limits and possibilities of the Ecological Tax as an instrument for environmental administration. Results show that a positive co-relationship between the increase in preservation areas and an increase in ecological taxes characterizes the ICMS-e as a worthy instrument for the administration of the municipalities under analysis.
