The deadline for submitting the Individual Income Tax Declaration (IRPF) 2025 is about to begin. The Federal Revenue Service has released the rules for this year, and taxpayers must pay attention to changes and requirements to avoid problems with the tax authority. If you need to declare your income tax, check all the essential information to ensure a correct and hassle-free submission.

What is the deadline for declaring the IR 2025?

The deadline for submitting the 2025 income tax declaration starts on Monday, March 17, at 8 AM, and runs until May 30, at 11:59 PM. This year, the Federal Revenue Service expects to receive 46.2 million declarations, a significant increase compared to the previous year.

Who is required to declare income tax in 2025?

Not all Brazilians need to submit a declaration, but some rules determine who is required to report to the tax authority. Here are the updated criteria:

• Individuals with taxable income exceeding R$ 33,888 in 2024;

• Those who received tax-exempt income, non-taxable income, or income taxed exclusively at source above R$ 200,000;

• Individuals who made capital gains from the sale of assets or engaged in stock market operations;

• Those who owned assets and rights above R$ 800,000 on December 31, 2024;

• Taxpayers who became residents of Brazil in 2024;

• Those who had gross income exceeding R$ 169,440 from rural activity.

If you fit into any of these situations, you must submit the declaration to avoid problems with the Federal Revenue Service.

How to fill out and submit the IRPF 2025 declaration?

The income tax declaration can be filled out in three ways:

1. Through the Declaration Generation Program (PGD) from the Federal Revenue Service, available for download on the official website.

2. Through the "My Income Tax" application, available for Android and iOS.

3. Through the e-CAC portal, accessing with a gov.br account.

Starting from April 1st, a pre-filled declaration will also be available, which already includes information on income, withheld taxes, and assets of the taxpayer. This option reduces errors and facilitates the submission of the declaration.

Income Tax Refund 2025

Taxpayers who are entitled to a refund will receive the amounts in five batches, according to the following schedule:

• 1st batch: May 30

• 2nd batch: June 30

• 3rd batch: July 31

• 4th batch: August 29

• 5th batch: September 30

Priority in refunds is given to:

• Individuals aged 80 or older;

• Individuals aged 60 or older, individuals with disabilities or serious illnesses;

• Taxpayers whose primary source of income is teaching;

• Those who opted for the pre-filled declaration and refund via Pix.

To receive the refund faster, it is worth choosing payment via Pix, as long as the key is the CPF of the declarant.

What happens if I miss the submission deadline?

If you do not submit your declaration by May 30, you will be subject to a 1% monthly fine on the tax owed, with a minimum amount of R$ 165.74 and potentially reaching 20% of the tax owed.

To avoid this problem, it is recommended to start filling out the declaration in advance and ensure that all necessary documents are organized.

How to avoid errors in the income tax declaration?

Errors in the declaration can lead the taxpayer to fall into scrutiny, resulting in delays in the refund and possible fines. To avoid problems:

• Check all information before submitting;

• Use the pre-filled declaration to avoid discrepancies;

• Report all income correctly;

• Keep supporting documents for at least 5 years;

• Check if all deductions are valid.

If you notice an error after submission, it is possible to submit a rectifying declaration before the final deadline without penalties.
