Abstract

This essay addresses the conclusions presented by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (FRS) under SC Cosit n. 145/2020 about the requirements for considering ICMS tax credits/incentives as investment grants as determined by Section 30 of Law n. 12.973/2014. Therefore, it concludes that the FRS’s understanding is not suitable to the best approach of the Brazilian legal order and states that when LC n. 160/2017 has modified the Law n. 12.973/2014 it has treated as investment grants all of ICMS tax credits/incentives, as long as such credits/incentives fulfills the accounting requirements.
