The Supreme Administrative Court partially allowed the appeal regarding the validity of price declarations in a public deed for tax purposes. The appellant argued the declared price was simulated or inaccurate due to collusion, while the State contended the declaration was truthful. The court held that price declarations can be simulated or inaccurate based on whether there was an agreement to underpay taxes, and that the seller is presumed negligent if they fail to object to such declarations upon reading the deed.

SUMÁRIO

I - As declarações sobre o preço do contrato para efeito de sisa podem revestir a forma de simulação de preço ou de inexactidão de preço, consoante exista ou não acordo ou conluio entre as partes para liquidação de sisa menor do que a devida.

II - Salvo prova em contrario, e de considerar-se que o alheador agiu com negligencia se, ao ser lido e explicado o conteudo da escritura publica de compra e venda, não fizer oposição a declaração dela constante de que a venda foi efectuada por certa quantia que as partes sabem não corresponder ao preço real da venda.
