The Rio team works representing clients before all administrative and judicial tax courts and are regularly involved in a significant number of the country’s highest-profile matters, including landmark cases, and is currently involved in disputes derived from one of the largest operations ever carried out by the Federal Revenue Department. On top of that, they continue to oversee a number of leading cases before the Administrative Court of Appeals (CARF), the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) and the Supreme Court (STF) involving income tax issues (goodwill and transfer pricing), as well as VAT and Customs matters.
