Revenue receives more than 1 million tax returns on the first day

After the change of deadline that takes effect from this year, the number of Individual Income Tax returns delivered hit a record on the first day. Until 5 pm this Wednesday (15) 1,050,023 statements were sent, which is equivalent to almost ten times the 130,099 delivered on the first day of submission in 2022. This year, the deadline for delivering the statement has changed. It started at 9 am this Wednesday (15) and runs until 23:59:59 on May 31. The change, according to the Revenue, was necessary for all taxpayers to have access to the pre-filled statement, which is sent two weeks after the delivery of income reports by employers, health plans and financial institutions. declaration delivery period began on the first working day of March and lasted until the last working day of April. With the later start this year, more taxpayers gained time to deliver the declaration on the first day. Another factor that boosted the record was the anticipation of the download of the declaration generating program. Initially scheduled to be released this Wednesday (15), the program was released in advance for last Thursday (9). According to the Federal Revenue, the expectation is that between 38.5 million and 39.5 million declarations this year, a number higher than the record registered in 2022, when the Tax Authorities received 36,322,912 documents. Those who send the declaration after the deadline will pay a fine of R$ 165.74 or 20% of the tax due, whichever is greater. Arte/EBC News This year’s declaration has news regarding restitution. Anyone who chooses to receive a Pix refund or use the pre-filled statement will receive the amount more quickly, always respecting legal priorities. As for Pix, however, the novelty only applies to those who declare the Individual Taxpayer Registration (CPF) type key in the refund payment field. Another important change is the expansion of data available in the pre-filled statement. Last year, access had been extended to those with a silver or gold level account on the Gov.br Portal. Now, the form, which provides more convenience and reduces the chances of errors by the taxpayer, will have more information, such as real estate registered with a notary and crypto assets. The Revenue made the declaration mandatory for this public. Only those who made high-value sales or made a profit (of any amount) in these applications should complete the declaration.
