Legislator summary

The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that stamp duty incidence is limited to the value of the rustic land acquired through acquisitive prescription. The Fazenda Pública argued for a broader tax base, but the court held that only the land value constitutes the taxable base. Consequently, the tax authority's claim for additional duty on the building's value was rejected.
