Isenções tributárias relativas ao ICMS e guerra fiscal : análise à luz do preceito federativo

Abstract

By the process of democratization, wich occurred in the 80's at Brazil, brought by the constitutional order of 1988, significant changes have taken place in Brazil, among them the largest political and administrative decentralization of the state, the increasing of autonomy and the reduction of federal implement of policies to the regional development promoted by the Federal Union. Emerged from these concepts the dissemination of an anti-cooperative behavior among the sub nationals governments, especially the exercising of taxing authority by the members of the State and the Federal District unilaterally, through the granting of tax exemption without the actuation of CONFAZ, with a view to attract private initiative to promote regional development and job's creation, implying, in the other hand, negative effects at the Federation as a whole. In this way, and on a federal state whose parameters are unmodifiable, asks whether such approaches adopted by Member States and the Federal District are in strict observation with constitutional's principles, as well proposes ways of reducing the tax competition between the Brazilian political entities, guided by the lights of the federal rule.
