After raising taxes in recent years, the government estimates a record level for revenue in 2026

After the increase in several taxes in recent years, the economic team predicts that the collection of taxes, federal contributions and other revenues (such as oil royalties) will reach a new record this year.
According to the income and expenditure report of the second two-month budget, the expectation is that the collection will amount to 23.6% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - the same level as the previous record, in 2010.

The estimate, which takes into account the proportion of revenue to GDP, is considered more appropriate by experts for historical comparisons. Another way to make the comparison is to deflate the numbers.
Questioned by journalists, the Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, stated that the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), in its third term, has carried out a "fiscal recomposition" based on the "important principle of tax justice". taxes in Brazil. Ten million people benefited from exemption from [income tax], others benefited from a reduction in income tax, earning up to just over R$7 thousand.
Remember some tax increases
increase in the taxation of exclusive funds (high income) and "offshore" (foreign);
changes in the taxation of incentives (subsidies) granted by states;
increase in fuel taxes made in 2023 and maintained since then;
gradual re-encumbrance of the payroll;
end of benefits for the events sector (Perse);
beginning of taxation of bets;
increase in the IOF on credit and exchange;
increase in the taxation of interest on equity.
New measures
In the 2027 Budget Guidelines Law (PLDO) project, sent to the National Congress in April, the economic team reported that measures aimed at "recovering the revenue base" will continue to be adopted to achieve the targets for public accounts in the coming years.
The objective of the measures, according to the government, is to guarantee a "continuous and gradual" restoration of the public accounts surplus that favors the stabilization of the debt trajectory in the medium term.
"In order to contain the evolution of public debt in relation to GDP, the federal government will continue to adopt actions aimed at recomposing revenues, reducing or eliminating tax incentives [benefits for regions and sectors of the economy] that do not generate the expected economic and social results and seeking greater tax progressiveness [higher taxes for those who earn more]", says the economic team.
