Abstract

This article aims to analyze the consequences of the deductibility’s limitation by Law of expenses with technical services and royalties incurred by Brazilian companies and paid to a non-resident. For this purpose, we review the Brazilian transfer pricing rules, and the rules that prescribe the deductibility’s limits for technical services and royalties applicable to outbound payments. Thereby, we will conclude these consequences could be harmful to the Brazilian economy and the necessity of their harmonization with the international system of transfer pricing, based on the “arm’s length” principle.
