Abstract: Fiscal decentralization, starting in the late 1980s, aimed to encourage the strengthening of states and municipalities, based on increasing collection capacity and increasing constitutional transfers. This was confirmed when it was realized that own revenues have increased in their share as a proportion of the total revenues of municipalities. Taking into account these aspects, the article aimed to analyze the collection of the main municipal taxes in the states of Bahia and Pernambuco in 2002 and 2011. In this sense, the municipalities had divided into 2 groups: one with less than 50,000 inhabitants; another, those with 50,000 or more inhabitants, in order to simplify the analysis. The data are from the National Treasury Secretariat (STN) and were collected from FINBRA’s Finance Bank. From the methodological point of view, the relevant literature had revised and then Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) used multiple log-log regressions. The examination of the results revealed that, in fact, the ISSQN is the main responsible for the total amount collected for about 70% of the variation of the own taxes obtained in full. The fit of the model was significant with the variables representative at 5.0% and 1.0%.
