After delivery, the DARF (Federal Revenue Collection Document) will be issued automatically for payment of debts owed to the Union. The deadline for payment is up to 30 days, and the value may be updated according to the Selic rate after maturity.

If there is a refund to be received, the amount of the fine can be automatically deducted.

When will I receive the refund?
After submitting the reports, those who are entitled to a refund of the tax incorrectly charged in 2025 will receive payment. The first batch was paid on Friday, but people who delayed submitting the declaration and regularizing their situation should receive it in subsequent rounds.

In addition to this Friday's payment, three other lots will be passed on to taxpayers:

- Second batch: June 30, 2026;
- Third batch: July 31, 2026;
- Fourth batch: August 28, 2026.

Seniors over 80 years of age will have priority in receiving the refund, followed by seniors aged 60 or over, as well as taxpayers with physical or mental disabilities or those with a serious illness. Those whose biggest source of income is teaching are also on the list.

Next, preference will be given to taxpayers who use the pre-filled declaration and choose to receive the refund via Pix.

Then, those who adopt only one of these options appear, be it the pre-filled declaration or receipt via Pix. Finally, other contributors will be considered.
