Resumo: |
The purpose of this study is to present the conclusion regarding the analysis of the a sample of Administrative Board of Tax Appeals CARF case laws involving tax planning, focused on the identification of the grounds of these decisions. In the first part, constitutional institutes concerning to the matter were carefully explored, with a special highlight for the lawfulness, tipicity and fiscal capacity principles. In addition, it was also subject to our review the defects of the legal transactions, since the majority of CARF decisions relies on them to disregard the acts conducted by taxpayers. From the empirical research, it was noted certain common qualities related to the sample of decisions under analysis, which revealed that transactions that imply on tax saving, structured through indirect legal acts, and performed within a short period of time and between related parties are likely significant characteristics at CARF s trials. Besides that, it called our attention the magnitude of influence that the so called business purpose has on the judgment process by CARF´s judges. The results suggest that, despite the discrepancy regarding the qualification of the illicit act (sham, fraud, abuse of rights, etc...), transactions with similar characteristics tend to have the same outcome when it comes to decision reasoning. In fact, the study supports that there is hegemony of use of the sham institute to base the disregard of acts, mostly on the grounds of lack of business purpose to justify the practice by taxpayers. At last, we critically analyzed the reasoning of such decisions based on pre-juridical criteria. We stressed our opinion that the assessment of the tax law should not depend on external factors, such as the time taken between the transactions, their parties or even the existence of such a subjective concept as business purpose, in breach of lawfulness and tipicity principles |
