Questão jurídica principal
Whether the forfaitary reduction of deductible input tax for operating subsidies may also cover input tax on investments.
Decisão extraída
Yes. When the forfaitary method is chosen, the reduction is not limited to input tax on operating expenses and may also affect input tax on investments.
Fundamentação extraída
The statutory purpose is to fully neutralize the tax advantage from subsidized acquisitions. The forfait is an approximation based on averages; if the calculated reduction exceeds operating input tax, it need not stop there because the law does not provide such a cap.
