ABPI is amicus curiae

ABPI acts as amicus curiae in the Extraordinary Appeal (nº 1.348.288/SP) filed by the Municipality of São Paulo concerning a decision handed down by the 15th Chamber of Public Law of the TJSP, which granted the Appeal filed by the taxpayer, ruling out the levy of the Services Tax (ISS) on the contracts for the assignment of the right to use a trademark. The Federal Supreme Court will judge the constitutionality of the tax collection. In its petition, ABPI advocates the non-levy of the tax as there is no provision of service (obligation to do) in the trademark license agreements.
