The batch is intended for people who were not required to submit their Income Tax declaration in 2025 and, therefore, did not declare it, but had tax withheld at source throughout 2024 and have amounts to be refunded.
According to the Revenue, around 4 million taxpayers should benefit at this stage, with the release of approximately R$500 million in refunds. The refund amount is limited to R$ 1,000 per taxpayer.

How "cashback" works
Automatic refund is a pilot project created to facilitate the return of amounts paid unduly or in excess by taxpayers who did not need to present an Income Tax declaration.
In this model, the IRS uses information already available in its databases to automatically prepare a simplified declaration, identifying possible amounts to be refunded without the citizen need to start the process.
According to the agency, the measure seeks to reduce bureaucracy and prevent millions of Brazilians from failing to receive resources to which they are entitled due to ignorance of the rules or because they are exempt from declaring the tax.
Who is entitled
To receive the automatic refund, the taxpayer must meet all of the following requirements:
not be obliged to submit the IRPF declaration for the year 2025;
not have submitted the declaration on their own initiative own;
have had income tax withheld at source during 2024;
have the right to a refund of up to R$ 1,000;
have a regular CPF and a PIX key registered with the CPF.
How to consult the special refund?
From this Wednesday, the taxpayer will be able to check whether they were included in the special refund batch through the official channels of the Federal Revenue Service. The query can be made:
On the Federal Revenue website:
Access the Cashback Consultation service on the Federal Revenue page;
Log in with a silver or gold level gov.br account, if requested;
Check if your CPF was included in the special batch.
Or by cell phone:
Open the Federal Revenue app, available for Android and iOS.
Log in with your gov.br account.
Access refund query area and check if it has been covered.
To access the service, it is necessary to log in with a silver or gold level gov.br account.
In the "My Income Tax" area, the taxpayer will be able to access the declaration automatically generated by the IRS, which has the same functionalities as a traditional declaration. It will be possible to:
check the data used by the IRS;
include additional information, if necessary;
rectify or adjust the declaration before processing is completed.
If you are entitled to a refund, the credit will be made exclusively to an account linked to a CPF type Pix key. There will be no deposits into accounts held by another owner or issuance of payment orders.


For this reason, the IRS recommends that taxpayers provide a Pix key linked to the CPF to receive the amounts.
Schedule
This special batch follows its own calendar and is not part of the regular Income Tax 2026 refund schedule:
July 8: consultation with recipients;
July 15: payment of the refund in a single installment;
July 31: payment of the next regular batch of IRPF.
While this special batch includes taxpayers who did not submit the declaration, traditional refunds continue to be paid normally to those who submitted the document within the legal deadline.
According to the Federal Revenue, the initiative is part of the tax administration modernization strategy, with a focus on automating processes, simplifying tax obligations and expanding taxpayers' access to unduly paid amounts.
The body recommends that consultations and monitoring of the process be carried out only through official channels, to reduce the risk of scams and fraud.
