Brazilian sales tax is levied by States and predominantly in origin basis. Both high mobility of the tax base in this case, and the taxation mainly in origin, led Brazilian states to fiscal competition. Socioeconomic, cultural and geopolitical context in Brazil, however, make this competition harmful, based on the institution of irregular tax benefits for over forty years. In reaction, victim states file lawsuits against the ones who granted the benefit aiming to nullify the incentive. The correspondent judgment, however, is issued long time after the economic impacts of the irregular incentives take place. As a result, States have changed the focus of their reaction. Recently started to disallow taxpayers to appropriate credits due to the acquisition of goods originated from another State awarded with tax benefit in the origin State. As the benefit is granted by the origin State, in reality destination State levies the tax that the origin State waivered. This practice is allegedly supported in Article 8 of Law 24/75, which establishes both the disallowance of the credits, and the duty to charge the tax unpaid due to the irregular benefit. However, Brazil is structured as a federation, a form of organization that secretes financial matters of each State. Therefore, a State cannot pocket the amount that could be levied by its pair. If the benefit granted to the taxpayer is irregular, the origin State shall have to levy the amount, procedure that may be imposed by the Courts. Thus, Article 8 should be construed in the following sense: fiscal authorities can disallow the credit only if the benefit is in discordance with constitutional provision of non cumulative ICMS, and, above all, only the origin state can proceed this way.
