Resumo
Although approved in 2012, the Oil Royalties Act (Lei 12.374 de 2012) has not entered into force due to a Supreme Court´s decision to suspend the articles related to the new distribution of oil revenues between Brazilian States. The analysis of the Senate´s discussion of the draft that preceded the Act reveals that not only does it leave no absolute winners or losers, given the Federal Pact´s ambiguous nuances, and, consequently, potential conflicts, but also that the distribution of oil revenues among Federation Units was not an internal and isolated dispute in the Brazilian Senate between arguments about concentrating or universalizing revenue. On the contrary, it has been demonstrated by this study that it is a wider regional tendency in the Latin America region to increase oil royalties and taxes in order to allocate them in social policies that will benefit the entire country, as opposed to the oil-producing Federation Units alone.
