A. THE TAXATION SYSTEM


1. General Principles


14.101 The Federal Constitution vested the federal, state and municipal

governments with authority to collect taxes. This taxing authority

encompasses taxes, duties, improvement charges, social contributions and

compulsory loans.


 


14.102 As a rule, the taxes created by the three governmental instances,

within their respective spheres of authority, must abide by the following

constitutional principles:


(a) Strict lawfulness principle (princípio da legalidade) – every tax

must be instituted by law. This principle becomes even stricter in

tax issues, as the respective law must describe, in minute detail, all

aspects inherent to such tax assessment, such as the taxpayer, the

taxable events, the tax base and respective rates, timing and

geographic reach of the tax;

(b) Equal treatment principle (princípio da isonomia) – one same tax

solution must be adopted for equal situations. Taxpayers must be

accorded an identical tax treatment under the same circumstances;

(c) Ex-post facto taxation principle (princípio da não retroatividade) –

any events predating the effectiveness of a law instituting a new tax

or increasing its rate are not reached by its provisions;

(d) No same tax period taxation principle (princípio da anterioridade)

– taxes cannot be levied in the same fiscal year in which the law

instituting or increasing it has been published. Some quasi-tax

contributions are not subject to this principle by express

constitutional determination;

(e) No confiscation tax principle (princípio do não confisco)– taxes

cannot lead to unjustified appropriation of the taxpayer’s property.


 


14.103 The Federal Government has authority to create and collect taxes on:


(a) imports;

(b) exports;

(c) income and earnings of any kind;

(d) manufactured products;

(e) credit, exchange, insurance and securities transactions;

(f) rural property;
