CARF's recent decision on the possibility of use of PIS and COFINS from freight expenses between establishments belonging to the same company should be viewed with great victory for the taxpayer. For some time the debate about the use of PIS and COFINS has generated divergent decisions in administrative and judicial. According to the lawyer Rodrigo Giachini, Area Intelligence and Corporate Tax Scalzilli.fmv of Lawyers and Associates, the decision is important in that it helps consolidate an understanding favorable to the productive sector. "We believe that the credit of PIS and COFINS should be based on a broad concept of input, and any and all expenses necessary activity of the company, under the law of income tax," the tax expert. According Giachini, the federal tax is used to input criteria based on the legislation of the IPI, whose chance is much more restrictive. If this position is consolidated, many sectors where the cost of freight is representative may benefit, including the recovery of loans not suitable in the past five years.
