The deadline for submitting the Individual Income Tax Return (IRPF) 2022 (base year 2021) will end tomorrow (31). According to the last balance sheet of the Federal Revenue, released on the 27th, until then 28,880,296 declarations had already been delivered. This number is expected to reach 34.1 million by the end of the term.
Anyone who is obliged to deliver the declaration and does not do so by the end of the deadline will be subject to a fine. The amount of the fine is 1% per month on the amount of income tax due, limited to 20% of the amount of income tax. The minimum amount of the fine is R$ 165.74.
The fine is generated at the time of delivery of the declaration and the release notification is together with the delivery receipt. The taxpayer will have 30 days to pay the fine. After this period, interest on arrears begins to accrue, adjusted by the Selic rate, currently at 12.75% per year.
