The Court of Justice of the State of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ) Will Analyze a Lawsuit Involving a Possible Refund of R$ 10 Billion in ICMS for the Oil Sector, a Dispute Between Subsea7 and the State. Experts Discuss the Legality and Economic Impacts of This Decision.

Understand the Legal Dispute – The Court of Justice of the State of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ) is Set to Rule on a Lawsuit That Could Bring R$ 10 Billion to the Oil Sector. The Legal Dispute is Between the Oil Company Subsea7 and the State of Rio de Janeiro.

The Company Aims to Review Article 8 of the State Law 8.890/2020, Which Establishes the Condition of Waiving Resources and Administrative and Judicial Defenses, as Well as the Waiver of Rights That Challenge the Incidence of ICMS on the Import of Goods or Merchandise Under the State Repetro.

Legal View of Mariana Valença: The Waiver of Rights as Disproportionate Restriction and Incompatible with Constitutional Precepts.

Mariana Valença, Tax Attorney at Murayama, Affonso Ferreira and Mota Advogados, Explains That the State Repetro Plays a Crucial Role in the Effective Operation of the Industry, Being Essential for Maintaining Competitiveness and Attracting Investments in the Sector. “However, by Imposing the Requirement of Waiving Legitimate Rights to Challenge the Incidence of ICMS, the Regulation Establishes a Disproportionate Restriction That Is Incompatible with the Constitutional Precepts of Broad Defense and Contradictory.”

The Attorney Also Points Out That the Imposition of This Condition Contradicts the Principle of Tax Equality by Creating an Unjustified Discrimination Among Taxpayers Who Wish to Adhere to the State Repetro Regime. “Such Discrimination Does Not Find Support in the Legal System and May Result in Differentiated and Disadvantageous Treatment for Certain Taxpayers, Compromising Fairness in the Tax System,” She States.

“The Implementation of the Repetro Seeks to Promote Economic Development and Job Creation, Enhancing the Competitiveness of the Sector. However, by Imposing the Requirement of Waiving Legal Rights to Challenge, the Regulation Creates an Unfavorable Environment for Taxpayers, Discouraging Investment and Harming the Economic Growth of the State,” Concludes Mariana Valença.

Impact on the Competitiveness of the Oil Sector: Leonardo Roesler Discusses the Potential Reduction of Tax Pressure and the Implications for Companies.

For Leonardo Roesler, Tax Attorney and Partner at RMS Advogados, the Ruling of the TJRJ May Lead to a Mitigation of Tax Pressure on the Oil Sector, Considering the Unnecessity of Collecting the Mentioned Share to the Temporary Budget Fund (FOT).

“This, In Turn, May Propel the Competitiveness of the Oil Sector, Since, With the Mitigation of Burdens, Companies Will Be Able to Operate with an Optimized Cost Structure. Furthermore, the Decision Establishes a Jurisprudential Paradigm That May Be Invoked in Similar Lawsuits That Challenge the Constitutionality of the Deposit in the FOT,” the Attorney Declared.
