Salvador Cândido Brandão Junior is highly specialized in Tax Law, providing consultancy and developing defenses and theses to protect taxpayers' rights. A lawyer with a career spanning nearly 20 years, he was a member of the Administrative Council for Tax Appeals (CARF), where he dealt with IPI, IOF, CIDE, PIS/COFINS, import tax and customs issues.
