Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the taxpayer's appeal regarding a tax exemption on property sales. The court held that the exemption under the Succession and Gifts Code applies strictly to properties purchased with the specific intent of resale, which was not proven for the disputed assets. Consequently, the mere exercise of a commercial activity by the taxpayer could not override the lack of initial resale intent at the time of purchase.

SUMÁRIO

A isenção de sisa prevista no artigo 11, n. 3, do Codigo de Sisa e do Imposto sobre as Sucessões e Doações, e limitada aos predios comprados para revenda, não se aplicando, portanto, aos que tenham sido adquiridos sem a indicada intenção, embora venham a ser revendidos pouco tempo depois da compra.

A intenção das partes resulta, antes de mais, dos proprios termos do contrato, não sendo de presumir pelo mero exercicio da actividade comercial do recorrente.*
