Abstract

Justifications for interest on self-owned capital were shown to follow two tendencies among accountants and analysts. In one it may be a substitute for monetary correction in accounting for fiscal purposes. The second seeks to provide isonomic treatment between interest on self-owned capital and that of third parties. Differences between Brazilian tax authorities and the security and exchange commission on the subject were also identified. Some authors state that Law 9.430/96 made distribution of remunerative interest on self-owned capital as dividends, more attractive depending upon the nature of the beneficiary's revenues. Finally, practical application of the pertinent Laws 6.404/76 and 9.249/95 in the publicly traded "Companhia Siderurgica Nacional", "Metalúrgica Gerdau" and "Belgo-Mineira" steel companies between 2001 and 2003 revealed discrepancies in relation to tax and corporate legislation.
