After they began to circulate on social networks content with misinformation about tax collection on real estate rentals, including that adult children who live with their parents would be taxed, the government released a clarification against the so -called fake news.
False messages point out that a new registration, known as the CPF of real estate, would be a way for the government to identify who rents real estate and would use the database to increase taxes.
According to the Presidency Secretariat of Communication, the information is not correct. The tax reform, promulgated by the National Congress in December 2023, provides for the creation of the Brazilian Real Estate Register (CIB), the so -called CPF of real estate.
The registration, according to the note, does not generate any interference with the prices of rents, either for owner or tenants. The function of registration is a real estate inventory, fueled with data from municipalities and notaries.
“The purpose of CIB is to provide Brazil with a single real estate registration, generating legal certainty to owners, acquirers and sellers, related to property operations under the value added tax – VAT Dual, from 2027 only,” describes a statement from Secom.
SIMPLIFICATION AND EXEMPTION
The Value Added Tax (VAT Dual) is a simplification made by the tax reform. Federal, state and municipal taxes (ICMS, ISS, IPI, PIS and COFINS) are now converted into the Value Added Tax, formed only by the Contribution on Goods and Services (CBS), Federal Tax, and the Tax on Goods and Services (IBS).
In publication on social networksthe Minister of Finance, Fernando Haddad, even points out that CIB can contribute to the reduction of tax charged.

“Federal registration is precisely to reduce the tax, not to increase, just the opposite of what they are propagating,” he says.
Haddad explains that if a company has a condominium and rents the apartments for families who pay up to R $ 600 rent, these companies, which today pay tribute, will stop paying.
“Tax reform wants construction to turn to accessible housing production to Brazilian workers. So go against what they are disclosing,” he says.
The minister adds that if the rent exceeds $ 600, but the Family Tenant is included in the Single Registry (set of information on families in poverty and gateway to social programs, such as Bolsa Familia), “this family will receive the cashback [devolução]will receive part of this tax back to your checking account. ”
Thus, it reinforces the government’s note, “CIB does nothing more to consolidate the thousands of tax real estate registrations existing in each Brazilian municipality and real estate notaries, in a single database, allowed to implement the reduction of rates and cashback for low -income people. That is, it was created to make life easier for people and to allow advantages for the sector and the low -income population”.
About the information that adult children who live with their parents would be charged, the government says that “there is nothing in this regard; this hypothesis does not exist, it is fake new without any foundation or logic ”.
The IRS also issued a note, in which it deny any charge in this regard and guides: “Don’t fall fake newsbe wary of those who lie to you without foundation or apparent reason, except to cause fear and misinformation. ”
How taxes work
Tax reform does not increase taxation on rents. So much so that the text approved by Congress establishes a 70% rate reduction in locations, percentage and necessary to maintain the sector’s tax burden.
In addition, the locations of up to three properties, in less than R $ 240 thousand annually (R $ 20 thousand monthly), will not be as rule tax for individuals.
Only the operations of individuals with more than three properties and in higher value will be subject to VAT Dual, in addition to legal entities.

Tax reform is also not related to increased tax on urban property and territorial property (IPTU) and transmission tax causes mortis and donations (ITCDM), which focuses on inheritance.
These two taxes are not at the federal level, that is, they are outside the competence of the federal government. The property tax is decided by municipalities; and the ITCDM, by the states.
“The property tax, my people, is a municipal tax. Who increases, decreases and exempts is the mayor, has nothing to do with the federal government,” Haddad published.
