Since the Federal Supreme Court (STF) recognized, in 2016, the right to a refund of the difference in the Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) paid in excess of the tax substitution regime when the actual tax basis of the transaction is lower than the presumed one (Extraordinary Appeal (RE) No. 593.849) there has been discussion of whether the states of the Federation, ed by the same precedent, could charge the ICMS-ST supplement in transactions where the actual amount of the transaction is higher than the presumed amount.

Softening of effects at the STF
The decision regarding the exclusion of ICMS tax from the PIS and Cofins tax calculation bases, currently one of the most anticipated tax issues in Brazil, was postponed by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) on November 28 and there is no forecast for when it will be handed down. As issue is the judgment of the motion for clarification filed by the National Treasury in the case Imcopa (RE 574706), in which the theory was set that there was general repercussion in whether the ICMS tax is not a part of the calculation basis for the assessment of the PIS and Cofins taxes. Among allegations of omissions and contradictions, the National Treasury requested softening of the effects of the judgment, so that it produce effects only after the judgment of the motions for clarification. Due to the enormous relevance of the case, once again the softening effects has gained prominence in the Brazilian tax scenario.
