The tax team of Martinelli Advogados is made up of specialized professionals with extensive know how in litigation matters, guaranteeing complete advice and a high level of quality to companies of all sizes, national and international, and from various economy sectors.
One of the main differentials of the tax litigation area is the strong synergy between the administrative and judicial tax litigation teams. All claims are examined together, including work with the support of the law firm’s financial accounting professionals, who always work focused on the results.
The most prominent works in the area are those focused on tax recovery through tax credits; cash tax refunds; and administrative and judicial defenses aimed at canceling or reducing tax debts. We highlight the expertise in several taxes, including PIS [Social Integration Program] and COFINS [Contribution to Social Security Financing], ICMS [State Value Added Sales Tax] and ISS [Service Tax], for representation before the CARF [Administrative Council for Tax Appeals] and in all levels of the judicial branch.
According to data released by the Federal Revenue Service, among the top one hundred federal tax reimbursements occurred in 2019, Martinelli was responsible for conducting 69% of the cases.
