A prova é, sem dúvida, o instrumento mais importante posto ao conhecimento do julgador para determinar o seu convencimento e, a partir daí, definir, dentro dos critérios normativos, a quem deve ser assegurada a clamada justiça. Essa dissertação se propõe a uma investigação dogmática e empírica da aplicabilidade das provas no processo tributário, seja administrativo, seja judicial, demonstrando o seu poder como meio retórico para, por meio da defesa da verdade jurídica e do uso da linguagem como instrumento da formação do conhecimento, convencer o Estado-juiz da validade das proposições trazidas no processo. Também pretende-se demonstrar os limites de aplicação das presunções em matéria tributária, com ênfase no planejamento tributário e no posicionamento adotado pela Administração e pelo Judiciário nas questões envolvendo a responsabilidade tributária de empresas tidas como integrantes de grupo econômico de fato. / The proof is undoubtedly the most important tool put to the knowledge of the judge to determine the conviction and, from there, set within the normative criteria, who must be ensured clamada justice. This thesis proposes a dogmatic and empirical investigation of the applicability of the evidence in the tax process, whether administrative, or judicial, demonstrating its power as a means rhetorical for through the defense of the legal truth and the use of language as training of the instrument knowl edge, convince the state judge the validity of propositions brought in the process. It also aims to demonstrate the limits of application of the presumptions in tax matters, with an emphasis on tax planning and the position adopted by the administration and the judiciary on issues involving the tax liability of companies perceived as economic group.

This diploma work has, as its main objective, the investigation of the influence of the court judicature on the interpretation and application of the tax procedural rules, particularly their principles of the tax process and tax administration in the CR. The object of the investigation was to ascertain if the Act No. 337/1992 of Collection of Law, respecting the administration of taxes and charges, was a satisfactory and suitable procedural norm in the tax process, and if the principles of the tax process and existing judicature provided the tax subject and the tax administrator with an adequate legal certainty in these problems. First, I examined constitutional principles in the CR and the general principles of the administrative law in relation to the tax theory and tax administration. Then I moved on from principles of the tax theory to a detailed analysis of the court judicature in the interpretation and application of the principles of the tax process. I carried out a comparison of the existing, and the new, principles of the tax process and tax administration, which are govern commencing January 1, 2011, when the new Tax Rules came into force. In the diploma work, in the area of the principles of the administrative law, I dealt with the investigative question: To what extent it might be possible to use the existing Administrative Rules, in a subsidiary manner, in the tax process and tax administration, mainly focusing on all the principles stated in it, which are not included in the new Tax Rules.

During May 2007 it was announced that individual taxpayers would receive simplified tax return forms, will not need to do any more calculations and will no longer need to attach supporting documentation for the 2007 year of assessment. It was also announced that the tax system would be changed, making the turn around times for the assessment of tax returns faster. The primary objective of this research was to determine what effect the new tax return form, as well as the new tax system, would have on the tax practitioner submitting their client’s return. It was considered impractical to compare this study to other studies done. It was therefore decided that a questionnaire would be sent out. After considering all the research performed, it could be concluded that the new tax return form, as well as the new tax filing system, was welcomed by the taxpayer and the tax practitioner, and was a definite improvement, although some implementation problems were encountered.
