RESUMO

This work outlines some expeditious and effective solutions to settle tax disputes outside of the judiciary system, but always in accordance with the dictates of the existing legal framework. In our work, we have taken into account not only the current difficulties faced by the Judiciary Branch and its massive backlog of services, but also the possibility of devising definitive mechanisms for resolution of tax disputes outside the Judiciary itself. Given the democratic nature that permeates our institutions, it stands to reason that the taxpayers should play an active role in any given mechanism for settlement of tax administrative disputes. Accordingly, we suggest the creation of a so-called Participative Law based upon consensual rules for compromise and arbitration of tax obligations. This study seeks to identify certain human needs in the tax legal arena within a global environment, and to provide answers to any such needs in reliance on existing rules of positive law. Our methodology follows a deductive reasoning: we depart from positive law precepts with a view to triggering possible compromises under specific conditions within the realm of the so-called Participative Tax Law. It is important to stress that this study is based upon the relationship between Language and Law. This is because we strongly believe that any field of knowledge and language are intertwined in that knowing something implies knowing the language that allows it to be understood. Along these lines, scientific knowledge is a form of speech in itself. This assumption places language as an instrument that mediates and generates valid intersubjective knowledge and meaning. Accordingly, we shall analyze the language of positive law under the perspective of certain principles of semiotics. We conclude that there is a possibility, within the existing legal framework, for political players to devise laws determining the circumstances, conditions, limits and competences for consensual administrative compromises and arbitration mechanisms that will eventually make it possible to bring Tax Participative Law into full bloom
