Abstract

Given the constitutional commandments that the income tax be universal and progressive this article analyzes the apparently special treatment granted to capital gains by Brazilian Tax Law. From the standpoint of a normative concretization theory the distinguishing features of capital gains and of their historical treatment by Law are studied, in order to conclude if a special treatment is constitutionally possible or even necessary.
