The present article aims to examine whether the application of environmental taxes truly serves their extra-fiscal function, analyzing whether such taxes result in a reduction of environmental damage or are solely intended for revenue collection. To accomplish this objective, the study analyzes the National Tax System, to understand the importance of taxes for the promotion of Fundamental Human Rights. Subsequently, the concept of environmental taxes and their characteristics were analyzed, adopting the notion that environmental taxes have the ability to induce consumers to adopt more ecologically sound behaviors.

Among the findings, it was observed that environmental taxes face various implementation challenges, but have the potential to alter social behaviors and create sustainable programs, thus fulfilling their extra-fiscal function.
