The present article provides for a systematic and purposive perspective on the legal regime of the “interests on equity capital” (Juros sobre o Capital Próprio – JCP) in the Brazilian tax system. The author addresses the debt bias, inherent to corporate income tax systems, and describes how the JCP have been conceived to mitigate it. The ultimate intent of the article is to guide the interpretation of the applicable provisions. The contribution is particularly aimed at making the case for the possibility of deduction of JCP in relation to former years, which has been distorted by administrative authorities, despite the consistent interpretation of the Judiciary on the topic.
