Complying with tax obligations is one of the most important commitments for any company. Even with a quality product and an efficient team, neglecting deadlines and tax submissions can result in fines, blockages, and even legal complications.

And we are not just talking about large companies. Startups, SMEs, and even individual micro-entrepreneurs need to closely monitor their tax responsibilities.

If you want to keep your company regularized, avoid penalties, and make decisions based on real data, this content is for you. In this guide, we list the main tax obligations that require your attention throughout the year — and show how Beorange can help you simplify this routine.

Why is it so important to monitor tax obligations?

The Brazilian tax system is extensive and complex. There are different types of taxes (federal, state, and municipal), with specific rules for each tax regime (Simples Nacional, Presumed Profit, and Real Profit).

Failure to meet deadlines can lead to consequences such as:

• Automatic fines for delay or omission

• Suspension of CNPJ

• Difficulty in obtaining negative certificates

• Loss of access to credit and tax benefits

• Problems in investment rounds (for startups)

That's why, more than an obligation, staying up-to-date with the tax authorities is a practice of intelligent management — and that protects the growth of your business.

The main tax obligations you can’t miss

1. DCTF – Declaration of Federal Tax Debts and Credits

Mandatory for companies with Presumed Profit and Real Profit, this declaration informs the Revenue about the taxes assessed for the month.

• Deadline: until the 15th business day of the second month thereafter.

• Late fine: R$ 200 to R$ 500 per month.

2. ECD – Digital Accounting Record

Replaces physical accounting books (Journal and Ledger) and is part of SPED Accounting.

• Mandatory for: Real Profit and, in some cases, Presumed Profit.

• Deadline: until the last business day of May.

3. ECF – Fiscal Accounting Record

Used to assess IRPJ and CSLL based on the company's accounting.

• Mandatory for: Real Profit and Presumed Profit.

• Deadline: until the last business day of July.

4. DIRF – Declaration of Income Tax Withheld at Source

Although in the process of being replaced by DCTFWeb, it may still be required in rectifications of previous periods.

• Deadline: until the end of February (when applicable).

5. eSocial + EFD-Reinf + DCTFWeb

The trio that replaces various ancillary obligations related to payroll, charges, and withholdings.

• Deadlines: until the 15th day of the month following the events.

• Includes: admissions, dismissals, vacations, payroll, taxes, and contributions.

6. SPED Fiscal (EFD ICMS/IPI)

Mandatory for companies with state registration, especially those with Presumed and Real Profit.

• Deadline: until the 20th day of the month following the assessment.

7. DEFIS – Declaration of Information of Simples Nacional

Specific for companies under Simples Nacional, replaces the old DIPJ.

• Deadline: until the end of March.

What happens if your company misses an obligation?

The penalties for failing to meet tax obligations go beyond fines. Here’s what’s at stake:

• Progressive fines: which increase with the length of delay

• Inability to issue negative certificates: essential for loans, contracts, and tenders

• Compromising reputation with investors and partners

• Risk of tax enforcement and blockage of CNPJ

Good fiscal management starts with the basics: not letting any submission go unnoticed.

How to avoid missing tax deadlines?

Keeping everything under control may seem challenging, especially for companies without a structured finance department. But there are ways to make this management simpler and more efficient:

1. Use an automated tax calendar

Digital tools with alerts and reminders help track specific deadlines and obligations by tax regime.

2. Have reconciliation and financial classification processes

Checking entries, exits, and organizing documents facilitates the correct submission of monthly and annual declarations.

3. Rely on specialized accounting support
