Our multidisciplinary team monitors demands from regulatory agencies, advising the client throughout the audit process.

We identify potential risks in tax calculations at federal, state, and municipal levels by drafting opinions, formal consultations, and clarifications on applicable legislation and necessary procedures for fulfilling tax obligations.

We handle active and passive tax administrative processes at federal, state, and municipal levels. We analyze documents and seek other evidence, such as technical reports and third-party tax and accounting opinions. We work strategically with regulatory and adjudicating bodies such as CARF (Administrative Council of Tax Appeals), State and Municipal Administrative Courts, and Federal, State, and Municipal Tax Authorities. Our team with expertise in working with CARF analyze prevailing precedents to define strategies tailored to each case.

With experience in State, Federal, and Superior Courts, we handle judicial processes with active or passive contingencies. Our strategic case management team ensures constant updates on precedent developments on key issues and procedural aspects, ensuring compliance with adjudicating bodies’ definitions.

With over 20 years of experience in this area, our team aims to assist in the recovery of accumulated federal credits by reviewing verified credit rights and fully supporting and monitoring the entire audit process until the effective reimbursement of the requested credits.

We analyze the company’s operations and documentation, identifying opportunities for tax optimization. Our tax diagnosis involves an in-depth study of the company’s tax structures and routines, detecting any improperly paid taxes eligible for recovery, and keeping track of legislative and jurisprudential changes that may present new opportunities. This review includes assessing Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ), Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL), Tax on the Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS), Tax on Industrialized Products (IPI), Social Integration Program (PIS) contributions, Social Security Financing Contribution (Cofins), and National Social Security Institute (INSS) contributions.

We review the fiscal and corporate structure to evaluate whether the current scenario is the most favorable for the company. Our tax study includes reviewing procedures and criteria used to form the tax base in the company’s current operations and projecting various scenarios based on the company’s income statements (DRE – Profit and Loss Statement) and business plan. In line with the company’s objectives, these scenarios may involve opening new companies, evaluating the use of incentivized zones, establishing distribution centers, creating new branches, setting up units abroad, and assessing potential special ICMS regimes with state governments that may result in tax benefits.

We identify and analyze the feasibility of claiming benefits from differentiated tax treatments that reduce the tax burden on the company’s operations.

In our Brasília office, we have a team of lawyers with expertise in cases that proceed in the higher courts, such as the Superior Labor Court (TST), the Supreme Federal Court (STF), the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), and the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). 

We provide consultancy on various aspects of social security, from assisting with daily inquiries to drafting opinions and conducting studies to reduce payroll costs. We tailor our services to meet our clients’ needs.
