Resumo:
Brazilian municipalities present different social and economic behaviours and have different
levels of tax revenues and dependence on intergovernmental transfers. In the context of fiscal
federalism, predominantly rural municipalities have limitations in the exploitation of their tax
base, so it is necessary to analyse the elements that configure the fiscal administration of mu nicipalities to understand local public finances and efficiency in public management. In this
sense, this work aimed to analyse the impact of the rural population on tax revenue and the
receipt of fiscal transfers in the municipalities of Rio Tinto, Marcação and Cuité de Maman guape - PB. The sample of the study involves the municipalities of Rio Tinto, Maracação and
Cuité de Mamanguape - PB, in the period from 2010 to 2018. In methodological terms, in
terms of nature, it is classified as applied research, regarding the objectives, it is classified as
descriptive, with regard to procedures, is bibliographical, historical and ex-post facto and the
approach to the problem is considered quantitative. In order to reach the general objective of
this work, the statistical technique of multiple regression was applied. The results of the study
indicated a modest impact of the rural population on tax revenue and the receipt of fiscal
transfers in the municipalities of Rio Tinto, Marcação and Cuité de Mamanguape - PB, main ly evidenced in the statistical significance of the variable current transfers. Thus, the research
concludes that the larger the rural population in the municipalities analysed, the greater the
receipt of current transfers. The model presented suggests that other social and economic var iables should be included in the multivariate analysis.
