"Tributária
Prezados,
Vimos, por meio desta, informar sobre a ilegalidade tributária cometida pelas concessionárias de telefonia fixa. Nós da WO ADVOGADOS, colocamos a sua disposição nossos préstimos jurídicos, com fito de buscar a repetição do indébito sobre as contas telefônicas (aproximadamente 5% do valor total da fatura) em dobro, e, ainda, a exclusão das Contribuições Sociais do PIS e COFINS, nas próximas faturas.
Abaixo esclarecemos a matéria, para que você a compreenda, e entenda que as concessionárias estão se locupletando às custas do consumidor.
É ILEGAL REPASSE DE PIS COFINS EM CONTAS TELEFÔNICAS
O Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ), em recente julgamento reconheceu a ilegalidade do repasse das Contribuições do Programa de Integração Social – PIS e a Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social – COFINS sobre os serviços de telefonia que vem sendo realizado de forma não evidente pelas empresas concessionárias deste serviço.
A decisão da 2ª Turma do STJ considerou que tal cobrança contraria os princípios da boa-fé objetiva e da transparência, assim como se aproveita da fraqueza e ignorância do consumidor, conforme o julgamento, baseado em cobrança pela operadora Brasil Telecom só é autorizado pela lei o repasse para o consumidor do Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias (ICMS).
Em sua conclusão, os Ministros do STJ e os Desembargadores do TJ/RS, entenderam, entre outros, que a telefonia é serviço público, estando submissa ao princípio da legalidade. Como não há previsão em lei que autorize a incidência direta, ou repasse jurídico, das alíquotas do PIS e da COFINS sobre o preço dos serviços de telefonia, a concessionária não pode fazê-lo.

I didn't want to wade through the legal mumbo jumbo as it is worse than a foreign language, but if you want to get the gist of the note, put in in Bable Fish's Portuguese to English or Spanish translator, whichever serves you best. It seems to be one of those public notices of a class action suit against a telephone company. If it's anything like the ones that I routinely receive, it's a notice telling you that you can opt out of the class action suit and preserve your individual right to sue for damages.
Good luck. 4 years down the road you may get a notice saying that your share of the suit was $1.98 and here is all of the red tape you will have to go through to collect it. Meanwhile the law firm charged $1, 500,000 in fees to get you your $1.98.
Ok thanks heaps. I guess im just freaking out a bit. If anyone knows Portuguese feel free to contribute.
This is not Spanish. I believe that may actually be Portuguese
