The article aims to reveal the process of career development of tax auditors of the Brazilian Inland Revenue (auditores fiscais da Receita Federal do Brasil), from changes in the social and professional context and how these changes have contributed to the construction of a professional identity of these servers. The aim is to understand how the political-economic context is changing the perceptions that these professionals have of themselves and how the reforms transformed the way in which the tax auditors carry out their functions. The research resulting from a quantitative-qualitative transaction proposal made it possible to explore, in accordance with the theory of Claude Dubar, relevant aspects in the continuous process of construction of professional identities. Knowledge of the work and forms of identification of tax auditors at the Brazilian Inland Revenue may contribute to reflections on work relationships and processes of public management in Brazil.
