Abstract: The constitutional duty to pay taxes is imposed on all individuals, whether natural or legal persons, and constitutes an essential instrument for the realization of the fundamental rights promoted by the State. However, the Covid-19 pandemic created a global public health and economic emergency. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), recognizing its severity and global destabilizing potential (United Nations, 2020). In this context, it became urgent to rethink mechanisms of tax justice capable of helping taxpayers remain compliant amid economic downturn and a sharp drop in income. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Special Program for Tax Regularization (PERT-COVID/19) as an instrument of tax justice during the pandemic. The methodology adopted was theoretical-dogmatic, based on bibliographic and documentary research, drawing on relevant legislation (National Tax Code, Federal Constitution, decrees, and provisional measures related to the pandemic), as well as legislative proposals (especially Bill No. 2,375/2020). The results indicate that the aforementioned program proved ineffective in protecting taxpayers during the state of public calamity, with the legal instrument of moratorium emerging as the most appropriate means of addressing the social and economic demands imposed by the health crisis
