The group applied for being taxed under the regime of the group relief, as established in the Portuguese Corporate Income Tax Code (CITC), and the tax authorities approved the request in 2002. The group's accounts for 2003 were audited by tax inspectors in 2007. In 2008, the accounts from 2004 to 2006 were also under a tax auditing. Following such audits and basing on, in the author's view, some minor faults, the tax administration disallowed the use of group relief for four consecutive years (from 2003 to 2006). The financial implication was that 12 million Euros in additional taxes were charged to the group. Such an increase in the income tax would wipe out profits for two consecutive years, thus, pushing the effective tax rate to 100%. Such an economic result fell outside what seemed to be a balanced application of the law, by disregarding financial consequences from minor tax faults, some of which were voluntarily corrected by the group展开更多
