Abstract

This article analyzes the understanding of the Superior Court of Justice (Special Appeal no. 1.221.170/PR), regarding the definition of inputs for the purposes of PIS and COFINS (social contributions over the gross revenue) on a noncumulative basis, as well as the analysis of the impacts of such understanding at the administrative sphere and its applicability to taxpayers with commercial activities (wholesalers and retailers). For such purpose, a detailed analysis of the historical aspects of the thesis of inputs for PIS and COFINS will be made, as well as an analysis of precedents from the Federal Supreme Court, the Superior Court of Justice, the Administrative Council of Tax Appeals and administrative practice of the Brazilian Revenue Office and the Treasury’s General Attorney.
