On August 2, 2016, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (CC of the SCJ) issued a decision on an action for annulment filed by practicing lawyer R. Guilarte against article 31 of the 2014 Income Tax Law (ITL)1, which regulates the taxable base for calculating income tax on employee remuneration (the Decision)2.
In the Decision, the CC of the SCJ ruled that article 31 of the 2014 ITL replicates the content and intent of article 31 of the 2007 ITL, which was subject to constitutional review by the CC of the SCJ in its 2007 decision in the case Adriana Vigilanza and Carlos Vecchio3, where it analyzed the scope and content of the provision that defines the taxable base of employee remuneration.
In the Decision, the CC of the SCJ ruled the action as inadmissible on the grounds that such court had already ruled on the issue with the authority of a final decision in the above-mentioned 2007 case, where the CC of the SCJ held that only employee remuneration that is earned on a regular and permanent basis, namely the “normal salary,” is subject to income tax.
Through the Decision, the CC of the SCJ confirmed the position held in the decision issued on June 30, 2016, in the case SINTRALCASA4, where it concluded that only employee remuneration that qualifies as normal salary is subject to income tax.

The proliferation of internet-enabled devices has allowed children to access the internet at an increasingly younger age, often sharing their personal data without fully appreciating the risks and consequences of doing so. Accordingly, organisations that collect children’s personal data online have a shared responsibility to ensure that such personal data is collected with the appropriate consent obtained and is adequately protected, and to allow children to safely participate in the online space.
