Tax reforms have been implemented in the last two decades in several countries. They have as basic goals simplicity, efficiency and mainly ,harmony. These objectives are conjectured because of the increases in the commercial interrelations due to the process of glabalization. In general, reforms influence the markets, changing the macroeconomic variables. This paper investigates the macro impacts of such reforms - including the welfare consequences - via an overlapping-generation model featuring a wide tax reform, seen as a joint reform of the traditional tax system and the pension tax system. The simulations evidenced that, having as the starting point the current PAYGO system, the distortions caused by the economic environment reduce themselves when we give priority to consumption tax and adopt a pension system totally capitalized.
