Law2.9 KB

Taxpayer Rights and Guarantees

Enumerating all taxpayer rights and obligations would be an arduous and likely unhelpful task, as nearly all tax standards define both rights and corresponding obligations.

  • Right to know the processing status of proceedings in which they are a party.
  • Right to know the identity of the authorities responsible for the staff handling actions and procedures in which they are involved.

This is essential as different regions may have specific sanctions. Regulations in the sanctioning field are subordinate to the law and cannot create new violations or penalties.

Law3.19 KB

The Concept of Private Autonomy

Private autonomy can be conceived as the sphere of power that the law confers on individuals to self-regulate their own interests, namely, the power each individual possesses to create, modify, or terminate legal relations.

Private autonomy is enshrined in Article 1255 of the Civil Code (CC), which states that:

Contracting parties may establish the covenants, terms, or conditions as they see fit, provided that they are not contrary to law, morals, and public order.

Furthermore, Article 1091 of the CC shows that:

The obligations arising from contracts have the force of law between the contracting parties and must be met in accordance with their terms.

Theories About the Origin of the State

The origin of the state is a controversial issue that sparks two main responses:

1. The State Is Not Required (Anarchism)

This political movement argues that the state is not only unnecessary but also undesirable. Historically, the state has been seen as an instrument of oppression, favoring the powerful and generating ambition, hatred, and abuse. While life is inherently social, anarchists believe this doesn't necessitate a central, oppressive power. They posit that natural human goodness ensures solidarity without imposed control.

2. The State Is Necessary

This perspective is supported by two main arguments:

  • Monopoly of Force: The state, by holding a monopoly on force, limits and controls potential outbreaks
