Questão jurídica principal
Whether the price advantage in the real-estate sale constituted a hidden profit distribution taxable to the shareholder husband under direct federal tax.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The sale price was below market value and the buyer-children were close persons; the advantage was imputable to the shareholder.
Fundamentação extraída
The buyers' assumption of the shareholder-current-account debt was not part of the sale price. Documentary records, the notarial deed, tax returns, and the company accounts showed that the company remained a debtor of the shareholder after the transfer. The conditions for a hidden profit distribution were met.
