Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze certain aspects related to the application of the thin capitalization rules after the enactment of the Law No. 12,973/14. Specifically, it will be analyzed the moment for testing the indebtedness limits of the thin capitalization rules (Law No. 12,249/10) in the case that the cost for tax purposes of certain assets is compounded by the interests derived from certain loans. The study concludes that the correct moment for testing these limits should be the moment that the interests are included for accounting purposes as cost of the corresponding assets.
