Abstract

El presente trabajo de investigación, abordado desde la óptica del derecho tributario colombiano, está orientado a la acumulación de conocimientos que conduzcan a la comprensión del principio de favorabilidad tributaria, entendido como aquel que permite de manera excepcional dejar de aplicar el principio de irretroactividad de las normas, siempre y cuando, la nueva ley senale consecuencias jurídicas benignas para el obligado tributario y para el bien común; por tanto, admitiendo que el principio constitucional de irretroactividad no es absoluto y que, según la Corte Constitucional, encuentra excepciones válidas para su no aplicación. El desarrollo del principio de favorabilidad, no encuentra antecedentes en la Constitución de 1886, sólo ha prosperado a la sombra de la Constitución del 91 por los desarrollos jurisprudenciales de la Corte Constitucional; pronunciamientos que han sido objeto de la férrea resistencia de parte del Consejo de Estado, el cual ha esgrimido posiciones antagónicas a la de la Corte Constitucional. El principio de favorabilidad, nació a la vida jurídica con la Sentencia C-527 de 1996, considerada la sentencia fundadora en la materia.PALABRASCLAVEDerecho Tributario, Favorabilidad, Poder Fiscal, Poder Tributario.ABSTRACTThe present research work, based on the Colombian tax law, focus on learning and understanding the “Principle of Favorability”, which is defined as the principle that removes the principle of non-retroactivity of the law, always that the new law gives legal benefits to the tax payer and the community; therefore, the Constitutional Court permits that the constitutional principle of non-retroactivity is not absolute and find valid exceptions to its implementation. The development of the “Principle of Favorability” is not found in the Constitution from 1886, it has only flourished in the shadow of the Constitution of 1991 because of the developments in the law of the Constitutional Court; pronouncements which have been subjected to fierce resistance on the part of the State Council, which has set opposing positions to those of the Constitutional Court. The “Principle of Favorability” was created in the legal judgment C-527 of 1996, which is considered the founding judgment in the field.KEYWORDSTax Law, Favorability, Fiscal Power, Tax Power.1 Contador Público de la Universidad de Cartagena - Abogado de la Universidad Libre de Cartagena.
