The Federal Revenue Service has closed the deadline for submitting Income Tax 2026 with 44,498,717 declarations received, informed the Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, this Saturday (30).
In a post on social media, he said that the result "reflects the commitment of the Brazilian taxpayer and the maturity of the national tax system".
Regarding the number of people who did not submit the declaration, the IRS reported that it is not yet possible to count this number as the result is the result of specific investigations carried out over the five-year decline
What happens from now on?
Anyone who is obliged to declare, but did not send the document in time, is now in debt to Leão.
In these cases, according to the IRS, the taxpayer is subject to paying a fine for delay, calculated as follows:
- Fine of 1% per month or fraction of delay, calculated on the amount of tax due in the declaration, even if fully paid, up to a ceiling of 20%;
- Minimum fine of R$ 165.74 (only for those who were "obliged to declare", even without tax to pay)
The fine starts to count on the first day following the deadline for delivery and ends on the day
Deadline for declaring Income Tax ends this Friday
ta of sending the declaration or, if it is not delivered, on the date of official release by the Revenue.
According to the Tax Authorities, the recommendation is that the taxpayer regularizes his situation as soon as possible. The late declaration can only be submitted from 9 am on Monday (1st).
See below what to do if you have missed the delivery deadline.
How to regularize the situation?
The format for submitting the declaration after the deadline is the same: the taxpayer must gather the same documents and receipts and can send the information through the channels provided by the Federal Revenue Service.
The difference is in charging a fine. When transmitting the late declaration, the taxpayer automatically receives a Fine Release Notice, accompanied by the payment slip and the necessary instructions for repaying the debt.
How to pay the fine?
The fine for submitting the late declaration is non-negotiable and payment must be made by issuing the Federal Revenue Collection Document (Darf).
The Revenue normally gives a period of up to 20 days to pay the fine. If the debts are not paid within this period, late payment interest may be charged, calculated based on the Brazilian basic interest rate, the Selic.
If the taxpayer has a refund to receive, the fine may also be deducted from this amount, plus interest.
What happens if I don't pay the fine?
Amounts owed to the Federal Revenue Service - including fines, interest and taxes - can be considered as tax debts and pending issues.
This means that the taxpayer can have the debt included in the Informative Register of Unpaid Credits of the Federal Public Sector (Cadin) and in the Union's Active Debt. This can also bring a series of restrictions to the CPF, such as:
- the impediment of issuing or renewing passports and work cards; the contracting of financial products and services;
- protest at the notary's office and denial of the taxpayer's name, in addition to payment of costs to the notary's office for regularization;
- the impediment of issuing a Clearance Certificate of Debts Relating to Federal Tax Credits and the Union's Active Debt (CND), required for example for real estate financing, among others.
The taxpayer can check their situation in the "Tax Situation" tab - document that attests to the taxpayer's regularity before the Revenue and which is available on e-CAC.
