Abstract

Isolating, within the concept of “merchandise” and “goods” for fiscal purposes, the requirement of materiality as one of characteristics for certain items put up for sale in order to be possible to speak in “merchandise” or “supply of goods” in the context of taxation of consumption by ICMS in Brazil and by VAT in Portugal (and in the European Union), this study intends to look at the adequacy (or inadequacy) of this requirement, taking into account relevant normative, doctrinal and jurisprudential aspects.
