In our last text in this column, we analyzed the decision of the Federal Supreme Court in ADI nº 5,422, which recognized that the taxation of alimony by the beneficiary as "income" while the supporter — mostly men — was granted a "tax benefit" with the possibility of deducting the amounts paid, it disregarded the salary imbalance and discrepancy in the distribution of income between men and women violating the primacies of isonomy and equality between men and women provided for as a fundamental clause of the constitutional text. SpaccaDespite this being an important victory for women taxpayers, the decision does not exhaust the issue.
This is because, in addition to inequality in income taxation, studies on the effects of inequality between men and women in consumption relations and the tax burden borne by women reveal that gender inequality goes beyond the differences most evident up until now, as salaries, political and leadership positions, unpaid work, time dedicated to caring for people, domestic chores and EL Salvador Mobile Number List rates of domestic violence, also imposing a greater tax burden on women. A topic that has gained prominence in the world in recent years, the "Pink Tax" or, translated into Portuguese, "Rosa Tax", is a movement aimed at studying the difference between the prices of similar feminine and masculine products, as well as as well as products for exclusive use by women, showing that it is much more expensive to be a woman.
Although the expression "Rate" does not refer directly to taxation, but to the total price of the product, the fact is that, to the extent that they include the amounts paid by consumers for products for exclusive female use or products similar to those for men, at least, four taxes on consumption, there is no way to dissociate the expression from the tax perspective. The analysis of the General Government's Gross Tax Burden Estimation Bulletin [2] , published by the Ministry of Finance in March 2021, which is based on information from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), demonstrated that tax collection in the Brazil focuses mainly on the consumption of goods and services, leading us to conclude that the difference in the price of similar products ends up burdening the female public, also, due to taxation.
