Tax Litigation: Highly Regarded

About

Provided by Mannrich e Vasconcelos Advogados

Our tax litigation practice stands out as a highly technical team, dedicated to solving disputes in depth, but with a practical bias, focused on the clients’ business.

We are currently representing clients regarding relevant tax matters before the Supreme Court, as (i) levy of social security contributions on the one-third extra holiday pay; (ii) taxation of intellectual services provided by legal entities; (iii) mandatory completion of the tax proceeding to proceed with criminal prosecution; (iv) penalty of 50% on the value of rejected tax refund and offset requests; and (v) the abrogation of the casting vote in the Administrative Court of Tax Appeals (CARF).

We are dedicated to the development of innovative arguments for our clients. We highlight the exclusion of sales tax from the PIS/Cofins calculation base, a discussion that for a long time was considered inapplicable to ethanol and gasoline companies, but based on public data obtained by our team, we were able to obtain favorable decisions.

Our team frequently seeks new opportunities for clients, through monitoring of legislation and case law. We have been dedicated to the development of technologies to identify judgment trends and the best arguments to be used in lawsuits. Large companies seek our assistance in these projects, which aim to create a strategic and proactive view of tax litigation, mitigating conflicts and reducing costs.
