The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the Fazenda Nacional's request for jurisdictional review regarding the applicability of the 1981 tax amnesty. The State argued the amnesty covered all debts, while the taxpayer contended that social security contributions to pension funds are distinct from taxes. The court ruled that since these contributions lack the nature of taxes, the amnesty law does not apply to them.
