Portuguese court holds Social Security law violations are not fiscal and thus exempt from the 1981 tax amnesty.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the Fazenda Nacional's request for jurisdiction over a Social Security law violation, ruling that such offenses are not fiscal in nature. The Fazenda Nacional argued for amnesty applicability under Article 1, paragraph J, of Law 3/81, while the defendant contended the offense fell outside the amnesty scope. The court decided that since Social Security contributions are regulated by distinct legislation from tax law, the amnesty provision did not apply to this specific infringement.
