  ABSTRACT: This paper examines the constitutional prohibition on confiscatory taxation in Brazilian law as a limit on state taxing power. Using doctrinal and comparative analysis, it explores the principle’s connection to property rights, the ability-to-pay principle, and minimum subsistence. The study finds that this prohibition, while explicit in Brazil’s 1988 Constitution, is a common feature across the German, Spanish, Argentine, and Mexican legal systems, where it is protected either explicitly or implicitly through fundamental rights.
