Questão jurídica principal
Whether premiums surcharges under Art. 88 UVG constitute taxable consideration for BFU services
Decisão extraída
Yes. The insurers acquired BFU services in a reciprocal exchange; the contributions were consideration, not subsidies.
Fundamentação extraída
BFU acted under the insurers’ statutory prevention mandate and was financed by earmarked premium surcharges paid in return for specific prevention, education and coordination services. The payments were linked to BFU’s performance and reduced the insurers’ own statutory burden.
