O dever fundamental de contribuir para os gastos públicos e o principio da capacidade contributiva

Abstract

The research seeks to bring to evidence the need for further development and dissemination of the debate about the effectiveness of the principle of contributive capacity and the study of the fundamental duty to contribute to the public expense, in case the tax collection. It is established, in the first time, the contributory capacity as intrinsic principle to any tax activity, from a constitutional hermeneutic exercise, far beyond mere own grammatical and semantic sense of positivism. This is because the contributive capacity, as univocal element through its quantitative and qualitative requirements, is an effective way to enable a proper tax activity. Second point, it brings to the fore the lack in discussions of the fundamental duties, in casu, the duty to contribute to public spending, demonstrating that its foundation is the principle of solidarity from which you will allow to understand that the due performance does not correspond to a pure deprivation of freedoms, but a prerequisite for living together acting, especially from the recognition that the implement of rights presupposes a cost that must be financed by all, in solidarity. That, in fiscal context, it becomes even more evident at the possibility of implementing this duty from the solidarity as a taxation as an extrafiscality, which reveals the bond that has a duty to contribute to the principle of contributive capacity, showing that both, the duty and the right, are essential for viability, therefore, a tax justice. Finally, in the third time, built the necessary understanding of the principle of contributive capacity and the fundamental duty to contribute public spending as grounds for a tax justice we seek to analyze, from the conjunctival application of both if the existing tax measures in the national legal system – in spite of its constitutionality was observed only from the perspective of legality – would not be still exerting an unconstitutional practice by not serve them. For this he was elected the art. 7 of the law nº. 12.350/2010 granting tax break to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), including income tax, which proves to be unconstitutional on the proved contributory capacity of the institution and nonexistence of any justification for his tax breaks which, on the contrary, shows a low understanding of solidarity that must integrate fundamental duty. It is the application of the methodological premisses established to within a specific case of legislation, conclude than the norm violates the Brazilian constitution.
