Summary: This article tries to examine the reasons for the discordance between the constitutional text and the reality of the Brazilian tax system, due to the low tax collection on property and to the regressivity of the tax system. For that, the hermeneutic phenomenological method will be adopted. Through an analysis of the main assumptions of the fundamental duty to pay taxes, the premises of an adequate tax system are defined, especially the application of contributive capability and the tax progressivity, by confronting it with the current system, so that it is possible to list some of its problems, as well as to understand some of the remaining restrictions on a higher incidence of property taxes. It is concluded, then, that in the Democratic State of Law, the tax system must be the way to concretize the constitutional’s objectives, through the correct application of the contributive capability. However, there are doctrinaires, jurisprudential and politics barriers to the application of this principle in the property taxes, what prevents the concretize of the constitutional precepts. These barriers must be overcome.
