This paper aims to analyze the phenomenon of the "tax war" under ICMS taxation can harm free competition, because the matched competition can easily be distorced by unilateral granting of tax incentives. Introducing the study of the subject we have government economy intervention through taxation, which is currently a powerful instrument of intervention and not only a source of funding. The taxation to do so, should conform to limits, of which the principle of Free- Enterprise and Free-Competition, guiding the exercise of the competence. Below we discuss the principle of Free-Competition and unilateral granting of tax incentives. At this point of the work shows the importance of article 146-A of the Constitution to the subject, allowing the creation of special tax criteria to prevent disturbances of competition, as well as shows what is the position adopted by the STF against the granting of incentives unilateral tax. Following, going more specifically into the phenomenon of tax war and the unilateral granting of tax incentives under ICMS and its consequences for competition. Approach the need for effective protection of free competition against the "tax war", discussing the actions of the CADE, the antitrust agency in Brazil, to minimize the anticompetitive consequences of the tax war. Finally, we present the conclusions, with criticism directed to the states that use of the autonomy constitutionally assigned them, to grant unilateral tax incentives denying legal principles for being granted. We point out the suggestion largest power of competence to CADE to act with the companies that are benefiting from the exemptions granted unilaterally harming local markets, as the CADE has no power to punish the unfair competition among states.
