Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal against a tax-remission decision is admissible before the Federal Supreme Court
Decisão extraída
The ordinary public-law appeal is inadmissible against a decision on tax remission; only a subsidiary constitutional complaint could in principle be considered.
Fundamentação extraída
Tax-remission decisions fall under Art. 83 lit. m BGG, and by the unity-of-proceedings principle this also applies to the related issue of free legal aid and counsel. Accordingly, only constitutional rights may be invoked under Arts. 113 ff. and 116 BGG.
