Thesis (MAcc)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The requirements of section 11(a) and section 24J(2) were considered in this research assignment, from both a money-lender’s and an investment holding company’s perspective, to determine whether interest, losses on irrecoverable loans and raising fees were tax deductible. It was determined, that if the trade requirement is satisfied by the money-lender, then the above-mentioned expenses are fully tax deductible. However, if the trade requirement is satisfied by the investment holding company then only the interest is fully tax deductible. It is further submitted however in this research assignment that it cannot be said that the money-lender alternative is better than the investment holding company alternative – both alternatives are of equal value in the current tax system. What is important though is that taxpayers who will fit the mould of an investment holding company will now be able to use the principles set out in this research assignment to prove that it is in fact carrying on a trade for tax purposes, something that taxpayers are generally reluctant to pursue. If this is pursued, taxpayers may have the added tax benefit of tax deductible interest expenditure (in full) in cases where this was not previously the norm (and an investment holding company will not have to satisfy any of the guidelines of the “money-lender test” when it seeks to deduct its interest expense in full). However, if an investment holding company seeks to deduct losses on irrecoverable loans and raising fees for tax purposes, it will not have to satisfy all the guidelines of the “money-lender test”, but it will have to satisfy one guideline, that being the “system or plan” and “frequent turnover of capital” guideline. It will be very difficult for an investment holding company to prove this on the facts of the case – it will arguably take a special set of facts to accomplish this mean feat. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die vereistes van artikel 11(a) en artikel 24J (2) is in hierdie navorsingsopdrag vanuit ʼn geldskieter en 'n beleggingshouermaatskappy se perspektief oorweeg, om die belastingaftrekbaarheid van rente, verliese op oninvorderbare lenings en diensfooie te bepaal. Daar is vasgestel dat indien die bedryfsvereiste deur ʼn geldskieter nagekom word, bogenoemde uitgawes ten volle vir belastingdoeleindes aftrekbaar is. Indien die bedryfsvereiste egter nagekom word deur ʼn beleggingshouermaatskappy sal slegs die rente ten volle aftrekbaar wees vir belastingdoeleindes. Verder word dit in die navorsingsopdrag aan die hand gedoen dat daar nie gesê kan word dat die geldskieter-alternatief beter is as die beleggingshouermaatskappy-alternatief nie – beide alternatiewe is van gelyke waarde in die huidige belastingbestel. Die onderskeid is egter belangrik, aangesien die belastingbetalers wat aan die vereistes van ʼn beleggingshouermaatskappy voldoen, nou in staat sal wees om die beginsels wat in hierdie navorsingsopdrag uiteengesit word, te gebruik om te bewys dat die beleggingshouermaatskappy in werklikheid ʼn bedryf vir belastingdoeleindes beoefen. Belastingbetalers is oor die algemeen huiwerig om dit te poog. Indien wel, kan belastingbetalers ʼn belastingaftrekking ten opsigte van rente uitgawes kry, wat voorheen nie die norm was nie (ʼn beleggingshouermaatskappy sal nie enige van die “geldskietertoets” riglyne hoef na te kom wanneer dit poog om ʼn belastingafrekking vir die rente uitgawe te kry nie). Indien ʼn beleggingshouermaatskappy verliese op oninvorderbare lenings en diensfooie vir belastingdoeleindes wil aftrek, sal die belastingbetaler nie al die “geldskietertoets” riglyne hoef na te kom nie, maar sal egter moet voldoen aan die “stelsel of plan” en “gereelde omset van kapitaal” riglyne. Dit sal baie moeilik wees vir 'n beleggingshouermaatskappy om dit te bewys op grond van die feite van die saak – dit sal waarskynlik ʼn spesiale stel feite verg om dit te bereik.

Thesis (MAcc)-- Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Section 12 of the Value-Added Tax Act No. 89 of 1991 (hereafter referred to as the VAT Act) determines that the supply of certain goods and/or services are exempt from value-added tax (hereafter referred to as VAT) levied by section 7(1)(a). One such exempt supply is the supply of educational services by certain institutions (listed in section 12(h)(i)(aa)-(cc)). Section 12(h)(i)(bb) determines that the supply of educational services by an higher institution are specifically exempt from VAT. The term “educational services” is not defined in the VAT Act. Uncertainty exists in practice about what exactly educational services comprise and what the scope of it is. Since the supply of educational services is an exempt supply in terms of section 12(h)(i)(bb), a clear and irrefutable definition of “educational services” should exist. Two of the main purposes of an university is to deliver education of exceptional quality and good research outputs. The primary question that originates is whether the research performed by an university qualifies as an exempt supply with the result that the performance of research is an exempt supply. The term “research” was investigated in several sources and it was found that research can be generically be defined as the systematic investigation of existing knowledge and the creation of, amongst others, new knowledge and inventions. Furthermore, it was found that research can be divided into two categories, namely research performed at no consideration and research performed at consideration. Research performed at consideration is further divided into two subcategories, namely commercial research (where the purpose is to generate income) and non-commercial research (where the purpose is research). The definition of “educational” and other bent forms of the term “educate”, amongst others, “education” and “educator” were investigated in relevant South African legislation, case law and international legislation and case law. Commercial research is considered to be a supply of a business activity of a university with the main objective of generating income and is considered as a taxable supply in the case law of the United Kingdom and Canada. Non-commercial research is considered as supplies in the course or furtherance of an enterprise, but the main purpose of the enterprise is not to generate income. Non-commercial research is considered as an “educational service” since it meets the requirements of systematic instruction of education and learning. This type of research is exempt from VAT levied. The input tax of any costs incurred with regards to this type of research will not be claimable. It is suggested that the principles highlighted in this study might clear up the confusion surrounding whether research performed by an university qualifies as an exempt supply or not. SARS could possibly establish guidelines to determine when research is considered exempt or taxable. This information could be useful for role players in the South African tax environment if the matter arises. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Artikel 12 van die Wet op Belasting op Toegevoegde Waarde No. 89 van 1991 (hierna verwys as die BTW-wet) bepaal dat die lewering van sekere goed en/of dienste van die heffing van belasting op toegevoegde waarde (hierna verwys as BTW) wat deur artikel 7(1)(a) opgelê is, vrygestel is. Een sodanige vrygestelde lewering is die lewering van opvoedkundige dienste deur sekere instellings (gelys in artikel 12(h)(i)(aa)-(cc)). Artikel 12(h)(i)(bb) bepaal dat die lewering van opvoedkundige dienste deur ’n inrigting wat hoër onderwys verskaf, spesifiek van BTW vrygestel is. Die term “opvoedkundige dienste” word egter nêrens in die BTW-wet gedefinieer nie. Daar bestaan dus onsekerheid in die praktyk oor wat presies opvoedkundige dienste behels en wat die omvang daarvan is. Aangesien die lewering van ’n opvoedkundige diens ’n vrygestelde lewering ingevolge artikel 12(h)(i)(bb) is, moet daar dus ’n duidelike en onweerlegbare omskrywing van “opvoedkundige dienste” bestaan. Om onderrig van uitmuntende gehalte en goeie navorsinguitsette te lewer is twee van ’n universiteit se hoofdoelwitte. Die primêre vraag wat gevolglik ontstaan is of die uitvoer van spesifiek navorsing, deur ’n universiteit kwalifiseer as die lewering van opvoedkundige dienste met die gevolg dat die uitvoer van navorsing ’n vrygestelde lewering is. Die term “navorsing” is in verskeie bronne ondersoek en daar is bevind dat navorsing generies gedefinieer kan word as die sistematiese ondersoek van reedsbestaande kennis en die skep van, onder andere, nuwe kennis en uitvindings. Daar is ook verder bevind dat navorsing in twee kategorieë verdeel kan word, naamlik navorsing uitgevoer teen geen vergoeding en navorsing uitgevoer teen vergoeding. Navorsing uitgevoer teen vergoeding word verder in twee subkategorieë onderverdeel in kommersiële navorsing (waar die generering van inkomste die hoofdoel is) en nie-kommersiële navorsing (waar navorsing die hoofdoel is). Die definisie van “opvoedkundige” en ander verbuigde vorme van die term “opvoed”, onder andere, “opvoeding” en “opvoeder”, is ook in relevante Suid-Afrikaanse wetgewing, regspraak en internasionale wetgewing en regspraak ondersoek. Kommersiële navorsing word as deel van die besigheidsaktiwiteite van ’n universiteit met die hoofdoel as generering van inkomste en dus as ’n belasbare lewering in die regspraak van die Verenigde Koninkryk en Kanada beskou. Nie-kommersiële navorsing word ook beskou as lewerings wat in die loop of ter bevordering van die onderneming gelewer word, maar die hoofdoel van hierdie onderneming is nie die generering van inkomste nie. Nie-kommersiële navorsing word dus beskou as ’n “opvoedkundige diens”, aangesien dit voldoen aan die vereiste van sistematiese instruksie van onderrig en leer. Hierdie tipe navorsing is dus vrygestel van die heffing van BTW. Enige onkoste aangegaan met betrekking tot hierdie tipe navorsing se insetbelasting sal dus ook nie eisbaar wees nie. Dit word aan die hand gedoen dat hierdie studie beginsels uitlig wat die verwarring rondom of navorsing gelewer deur ’n universiteit ’n vrygestelde lewering is of nie, moontlik kan opklaar. Die SAID kan moontlike riglyne daarstel van wanneer navorsing beskou word as vrygestel of belasbaar. Hierdie inligting kan moontlik van nut wees vir rolspelers in die Suid-Afrikaanse belastingomgewing indien die kwessie na vore tree.

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Commerce (Specialising in Taxation) / In this research report the South African taxation of carried interest in a private equity context is examined. The extent to which reform of that taxation should be considered is also presented in this report. The nature of carried interest in the South African private equity context is initially examined. Thereafter, a discussion of the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act and related South African case law that would likely apply to the taxation of carried interest is set out. An analysis and determination of how appropriate and adequate the taxing provisions and relevant principles from case law are in the taxation of carried interest is provided. A recommendation for new legislation to deal with the taxation of carried interest has also been made. / MT2017

A Research Report submitted to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Commerce (specialising in Taxation) Degree: Master of Commerce (specialising in Taxation) Date: 30 March 2016 / The decision to undertake domestic (onshore) or international (offshore) trade activity should be one primarily influenced by the perceived commercial viability and sustainability of the trade activity in a local or foreign jurisdiction. As with all investment decisions, the decision to trade onshore or offshore should not be a “tax decision”, i.e. a decision motivated primarily by the resultant tax outcome of such trade in the jurisdiction under consideration. ‘Tax is usually not a major factor in the initial decision of an enterprise to make a direct investment abroad. Other factors such as return on investment, political stability, labo[u]r costs and access to foreign markets, are much more important as far as the original investment is concerned. The tax “tail” should not wag the commercial “dog”.1 Similarly, the decision to trade onshore or offshore should never result from a “taxable person or taxable entity decision”, i.e. a decision to trade onshore or offshore based on the manipulation of the existing mismatch in tax treatment between different ‘persons’ as recognised (whether defined or not) in the relevant tax legislation. Persons typically recognised for the purpose of tax legislation include, inter alia, natural individuals, companies2 and trusts. ‘A partnership, in South African law, is not a legal person distinct from the partners of whom it is composed, nor is a partnership a taxable persona for the purposes of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (the ‘Act’).’3 The purpose of this research will be to reveal the creation of a bias in the matter of double taxation of companies, in comparison to, the avoidance of double taxation within partnerships, even where it is observed that the characteristics of a modern partnership are increasingly akin to those of a company. This is a phenomenon found to occur in many jurisdictions across the world. Essentially, the premise of this research is to assert that a company is subject to economic double taxation in South Africa and certain jurisdictions, whereas a partnership, although closely resembling a company (i.e. a ‘quasi-partnership’), is not. / MT2017

The central object is to analyze the taxpayer's tax liability, not only as a subject of duties before the Administration, but also, and mainly, as subject of rights at the time of satisfaction of the tax credit, having the dignity of the human person as the vertex interpretative of the system. The work aims the deep study of third party responsibility, allocated in articles 134 and 135 of the CTN in the face of the current procedural pragmatics of tax accountability, especially through the analysis of Súmula nº 435 of the STJ and the possibilities and grounds for its overcoming / O presente trabalho visa analisar a dogmática tributária, por meio do estudo pormenorizado e seguindo os critérios metodológicos escolhidos, os limites constitucionais e legais para a instituição da norma de responsabilidade tributária de terceiros, bem como as implicações da adoção de determinados posicionamentos em face das correntes filosóficas do direito, especialmente diante das concepções do neoconstitucionalismo. O objeto central consiste em analisar o sujeito passivo da obrigação tributária não só como sujeito de deveres perante a Administração, mas também, e principalmente, como sujeito de direitos no momento da satisfação do crédito tributário, tendo a dignidade da pessoa humana como vértice interpretativo do sistema. O trabalho visa o estudo profundo da responsabilidade de terceiros, alocada nos artigos 134 e 135 do CTN, diante da atual pragmática processual de responsabilização tributária, sobretudo mediante a análise da Súmula nº 435 do STJ e as possibilidades e os fundamentos de sua superação

On the one hand, traditional hermeneutics, based on the literality of the CTN, which seeks the meaning of normative texts from an extraction of their contents. And from this hermeneutics, the construction of doctrine and jurisprudence that makes verberar a sense of assertiveness, completeness, certainty. From another perspective, movements that identify law as being a language, which culminates in complex ideas and a constant dialogue between texts, given the difficulty always present in seeing the legal reality under the sign of language. In the doctrine and jurisprudence that follow, deepening in matters that before seemed exhausted, returns to the fundamental normative structures and recognition of the incompleteness of everything that is said about the legal-tributary phenomenon. And here, emerges the Logical-Semantic Constructivism, by Paulo de Barros Carvalho. The justification of this research is based on the original approach that seeks to offer to the problematic, considering that it approaches the idea of hermeneutical movements in the Science of Law, in order to investigate the possibility of establishing the proper characteristics of these two movements, located in times not -chronic logics: the first, from the "past that is still present", represents the traditional approach; the second, of the "future that is already present", has as its starting point the fundamental work of Logical-Semantic Constructivism. Thus, the starting problem is: can individual different motifs be identified in the way Brazilian juridical-tax hermeneutics takes place? The general objective of the research is to investigate the possibility of identifying these hermeneutical movements and the establishment of characters that represent the overcoming of the traditional model, given the inflows resulting from the adoption of the paradigm of language, as well as the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and, more recently, the new Code of Civil Procedure. The methodology used is the path that interweaves the analytical-hermeneutic method, which is characteristic of Logical-Semantic Constructivism, under the influence of semiotic perspectives in the juridical data: here the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic plans structuring of language, by which the object itself is constructed by a subject, which is also by language. With all of this, the structuring of the thought contained in this work margeia reflections that are processed in the scope of Legal Epistemology, Law Theory and Tax Law itself. The central hypothesis of the work is that, in spite of new intellectual influences in Brazilian juridical-tax doctrine, jurists and scholars of tax law still rely on ulteriorated hermeneutic views, clinging to the use of the various methods scattered in the CTN and masking the complexity of the normative phenomenon. This is true even after the decisive influences of CF / 88. In this way, the possibilities that allow us to deal with different paradigms in the interpretation of texts and legal-tax aspects, as a way of undertaking a new legal rationality that align General Theory of Law and Tax Law from the dialogue between the different languages are deepened, competent and incompetent, which are reflected in Brazilian normative discourse / Ao se observar a maneira como se processa a interpretação jurídico-tributária, percebem-se movimentos distintos e que parecem calhar em um ponto de enfrentamento intelectual. De um lado, a Hermenêutica tradicional, fincada na literalidade do CTN, e que busca o sentido dos textos normativos com base na extração de seus conteúdos. E arrimada nesta Hermenêutica, a elaboração da doutrina e da jurisprudência que que faz verberar um sentido de assertividade, de completude, de certeza. Sob outra perspectiva, movimentos que identificam o Direito como sendo linguagem, o que faz culminar em ideias complexas e em um diálogo constante entre textos, dada a dificuldade sempre ocorrente em se enxergar a realidade jurídica sob o signo da linguagem. Na doutrina e na jurisprudência que lhe seguem, aprofundamentos em matérias que antes pareciam esgotadas, retornos às estruturas fundamentais normativas e reconhecimento da incompletude de tudo quanto se diga acerca do fenômeno jurídico-tributário. E aqui desponta o Constructivismo Lógico-Semântico, de Paulo de Barros Carvalho. A justificativa desta pesquisa se fundamenta no enfoque original que se busca oferecer à problemática, tendo em vista que aborda a ideia de movimentos hermenêuticos na Ciência do Direito, de sorte a investigar a possibilidade de estabelecimento dos caracteres próprios desses dois movimentos, situados em tempos não cronológicos distintos: o primeiro, do “passado que ainda se faz presente”, representa o enfoque tradicional; o segundo, do “futuro que já se faz presente”, tem como ponto de partida a obra fundamental do Constructivismo Lógico-Semântico. Com efeito, o problema de partida é: podem ser individualizados mo(vi)mentos distintos na maneira como se processa a Hermenêutica Jurídico-Tributária brasileira? O objetivo geral da pesquisa é investigar a possibilidade de identificação desses movimentos hermenêuticos e o estabelecimento de caracteres que representem a superação do modelo tradicional, dados os influxos decorrentes da adoção do paradigma da linguagem, bem como da promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988 e, mais recentemente, do Código de Processo Civil de 2016. A metodologia utilizada é o caminho que interlaça o método analítico-hermenêutico, próprio do Constructivismo Lógico-Semântico, sob os influxos de perspectivas semióticas no dado jurídico: aqui, a estruturação de planos sintático, semântico e pragmático da linguagem, pelo qual o próprio objeto é construído por um sujeito, que também é pela linguagem. Com tudo isso, a estruturação do pensamento contido neste trabalho margeia reflexões que se processam no âmbito da Epistemologia Jurídica, da Teoria do Direito e do próprio Direito Tributário. A hipótese central do trabalho é que, apesar de novos influxos intelectuais na dogmática jurídico-tributária brasileira, os juristas e estudiosos do Direito Tributário ainda se valem de panoramas hermenêuticos ultrapassados, apegando-se à utilização dos diversos métodos espraiados no CTN e que mascaram a complexidade do fenômeno normativo. E isso se dá mesmo após as influências determinantes da CF/88. Efetivamente, aprofundam-se as possibilidades que permitem lidar com paradigmas diferenciados na interpretação dos textos e dos fatos jurídico-tributários, como a maneira de empreender uma nova racionalidade jurídica que alinhe Teoria Geral do Direito e Direito Tributário com esteio no diálogo entre as diversas linguagens, competentes e incompetentes, que se plasmam no discurso normativo brasileiro

To do so, we first draw the method used for the elaboration of the work, as that of semantic logical constructivism, we establish premises and clarify fundamental concepts defining them. We address the criteria of the tax incidence rule-array, delving deeper into its general theory to apply to the construction of the rule-array of tax incidence of the rural territorial tax. When constructing this norm of behavior, we have made a split between the fiscal and extra-fiscal rules, in order to analyze carefully all its structure. We find a very complex tax, in the construction of all its criteria from the antecedent of the norm, which are: material (concept of property and rural property), spatial (between destination and location) and temporal, as well as (passive and active) (quantitative or not) and quantitative (exemption, non-incidence, principle of contributory capacity, isonomy, non-confiscation). The division of the norm of behavior allowed us to verify the strict relation of the extrafiscal tax rate with the materiality that authorizes it, what is the exercise of the social function. The analysis of the exemption rules led us to also investigate the institute of non-incidence and its application in this tax, as well as to observe its structure as a standard of structure. The duties of presenting the ADA, CAR, and registering the legal reserve in enrollment, instigated us to classify them as instrumental duties of the exemption rules, which had repercussions in the analysis of the imposed sanction. We conclude with the analysis of some practical cases, such as the incidence of ITR in the areas of mineral exploration, landfill and embargoed for any activity by competent agent. To conclude we made our final considerations exploring the main constructions realized on the subject / O presente trabalho foi realizado com intuito de investigar a norma de incidência do imposto territorial rural, de isenção e dos deveres instrumentais. Primeiramente foi traçado o método utilizado para a elaboração do trabalho – o constructivismo-lógico semântico – firmadas premissas e esclarecidos conceitos fundamentais. Foram abordados os critérios da regra-matriz de incidência tributária, com aprofundamento na sua teoria geral para aplicação à construção da regra-matriz de incidência tributária do imposto territorial rural. Quando da construção dessa norma de comportamento, foi feita uma cisão entre a norma fiscal e extrafiscal pra a análise cuidadosa de toda sua estrutura. Ao longo da pesquisa, foi descoberto um tributo muito complexo, na construção de todos os seus critérios, desde os do antecedente da norma, quais sejam: material (conceito de propriedade e de imóvel rural), espacial (entre a destinação e a localização) e temporal, como também os do consequente da norma: pessoal (sujeição passiva e ativa (parafiscalidade ou não) e quantitativo (isenção, não incidência, princípio da capacidade contributiva, isonomia, não confisco). A cisão da norma de comportamento permitiu verificar a estrita relação da alíquota extrafiscal com a materialidade que lhe autoriza, qual seja o exercício da função social. A análise das normas de isenção levou a pesquisa a investigar também o instituto da não incidência e sua aplicação neste imposto, além de observar sua estrutura como norma de estrutura. Os deveres da apresentação do ADA, CAR, e averbação da reserva legal na matrícula, instigou esta investigação a classificá-los como deveres instrumentais das normas isentivas, o que repercutiu na análise da sanção imposta. Ao final, são analisados alguns casos práticos, como a incidência do ITR nas áreas de exploração mineral, de aterro sanitário e embargadas para qualquer atividade por agente competente. Para concluir, a dissertação traz nossas considerações finais explorando as principais construções realizadas sobre o tema

After the contextualization of the influence of law in the State and the importance of the principles under the Brazilian constitutional system, it is presented the “ideal state” of the principle of tax legality. The principles are the true foundation of the Brazilian tax system and the principle of tax legality has a specific role in tax matters, mainly under the Brazilian Constitution enacted in 1988. The Brazilian Constitution is extremely detailed and indicates the exact path to be taken by the State to carry out the tax activity. Along with such specific role, this paper also analyzed how the three powers of the Brazilian State coexist with the principle of tax legality and whether the Brazilian Supreme Court has ensured the proper effectiveness and concreteness of this principle / O presente trabalho trata da importância do princípio da legalidade tributária, desde o surgimento do Estado de Direito até os dias atuais, notadamente a partir da concepção jusfilosófica deste princípio sob as perspectivas positivista e pós-positivista. Com efeito, após a contextualização da importância da lei no surgimento do Estado e da importância dos princípios na ordem constitucional brasileira, que são verdadeiros alicerces do edifício jurídico, apresenta-se o “estado ideal de ser” da legalidade para o direito tributário. Em matéria tributária, o princípio da legalidade tem nuances específicas e especiais sob a égide da Constituição Federal promulgada em 1988. Sem exceção à regra, o texto constitucional é extremamente minucioso e indica o exato caminho a ser percorrido para o Estado exercer a atividade tributante. A par dessas nuances específicas e especiais, o princípio da legalidade tributária é influenciado diretamente pelos direitos fundamentais, notadamente pelos direitos à propriedade e à liberdade. Por essa razão, analisa-se de que forma os três poderes do Estado brasileiro convivem com o princípio da legalidade tributária e se o Supremo Tribunal Federal tem garantido a devida efetividade e concretude a este princípio

No. of bitstreams: 1 José Gomes de Lima Neto.pdf: 1696443 bytes, checksum: af1eae302cc9f5c538b99f1f4cf722d3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-02-06 / The analysis of tax liability among companies within the same economic group is this paper’s main objective. In order to do so, it was necessary to analyze the autonomy of the legal entity as a legal principle rooted on the Federal Constitution itself. Based upon this premise, the disregard doctrine was studied, focusing on its characteristics and mentions in national material laws, especially article 50 of the Brazilian Civil Code, which is anchored on the so-called “Greater Theory”. Subsequently, comments are weaved regarding unilateral rights, approaching lapsing and prescription, thus defining the legal nature of the right to require the piercing of the corporate veil, as well as its term. The study of taxpayers was also approached as a matter of constitutional content, developing into an analysis of the general theory of tax liability and the constitutional principles that underlie it, such as: legality, contributive capacity, practicability and the due legal process. Furthermore, the procedural aspects of piercing the corporate veil and its natural consequences in tax execution processes are dealt with, which basically is to redirect the debt from the original debtor to the taxpayer, defending the total enforceability of the Piercing The Corporate Veil Incident from the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure/2015 to Tax Foreclosure Law. In order to do so, case laws were emphasized, also quoting the IRDR from the Federal Regional Court and Ruling PGFN nº 948/2017. Finally, we approach tax liability of companies belonging to the same economic group, highlighting the hierarchy of the Civil Code’s General Tax Laws, as well as the lack of specific norms for the aforementioned liability in the National Tax Code and ordinary legislation, thus establishing its constitutional and infra-constitutional limits / A análise da responsabilidade tributária entre empresas pertencentes ao mesmo grupo econômico se perfaz no objetivo principal deste trabalho. Para tanto, mostrou-se necessário analisar a autonomia da pessoa jurídica enquanto princípio de direito com raízes fincadas na própria Constituição Federal. A partir dessa premissa, estudamos o instituto da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica (disregard doctrine), enfocando suas características, menções pelas leis materiais nacionais, principalmente pelo artigo 50 do Código Civil, que se escora na chamada “Teoria Maior”. Em sequência, tecemos comentários acerca do direito potestativo, da prescrição e da decadência, definindo, com isso, a natureza jurídica do direito ao requerimento da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, bem como de seu prazo. O estudo da sujeição passiva tributária também foi abordado enquanto matéria de conteúdo constitucional, passando-se, então, à analise da teoria geral da responsabilidade tributária e dos princípios constitucionais que lhe dão suporte, a saber: a legalidade, a capacidade contributiva, a praticabilidade e o devido processo legal. Em sequência, tratamos dos aspectos processuais do instituto da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica e de sua consequência natural nos processos de execução fiscal, que é o redirecionamento da dívida do devedor original para o responsável tributário, defendendo a total aplicabilidade da regulamentação do Incidente de Desconsideração da Personalidade Jurídica no CPC/2015 à Lei de Execução Fiscal. Para tanto, enfatizamos o entendimento jurisprudencial sobre a matéria, citando, também, o Incidente de Resolução de Demandas Repetitivas do Tribunal Regional Federal da 3ª Região e a Portaria PGFN nº 948/2017. Enfim, tratamos da responsabilidade tributária das empresas pertencentes ao mesmo grupo econômico, ressaltando a primazia hierárquica das Normas Gerais de Direito tributário sobre o Código Civil, além da ausência de normatização específica da referida responsabilidade no Código Tributário Nacional e legislação ordinária tributária, estabelecendo, assim, seus limites constitucionais e infraconstitucionais
