AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the taxpayer's request to deduct land development expenses from capital gains tax. The court held that such costs cannot offset gains if the corresponding industrial contribution is not levied, as the law explicitly prohibits these deductions in this scenario. Consequently, the taxpayer remains liable for the full capital gains amount without any reduction for urbanization works.

SUMÁRIO

I - As despesas feitas pelo contribuinte com o loteamento de um terreno para construções não podem ter qualquer significado para o efeito de afastarem os ganhos correspondentes da incidencia do imposto de mais-valias, quando tais ganhos não estejam sujeitos a incidencia da contribuição industrial.

II - E a lei nem sequer permite que tais despesas sejam deduzidas.
