The author states that the cost of this tax measure was not unknown at the time of its creation, nor when its expansion was carried out.

Regarding the question of the benefit provided by the measure, Vasques indicates that this is a different conversation, implicitly suggesting that the results or advantages of IRS Jovem are questionable or deserve greater debate.
