As of 10am this Thursday (23rd), around 264 thousand taxpayers who fell through the cracks and settled their disputes with the tax authorities will know whether they will receive a refund. At this time, the Federal Revenue Service releases the consultation of the October fine mesh batch, with the inclusion of around 11 thousand taxpayers from Rio Grande do Sul entitled to receive it. The batch also includes residual refunds from previous years.
In total, 264,602 taxpayers will receive R$700 million. At least 53% of the amount, informed the Tax Authority, will go to taxpayers with priority reimbursement. Due to the floods in Rio Grande do Sul this year, Rio Grande do Sul taxpayers were included in the list of priorities.
From the list of priorities, the majority, 126,824 taxpayers, informed the Pix key of the Individual Taxpayer Registry (CPF) type in the Income Tax declaration or used the pre-filled declaration. Since last year, Pix key information has been given priority in receipt.
Second on the list of priorities, there are 14,661 taxpayers whose biggest source of income is teaching. In third place are 11,360 taxpayers residing in Rio Grande do Sul. Next are 46,689 taxpayers between 60 and 79 years of age. The rest of the priority taxpayers are 6,416 elderly taxpayers over 80 years of age and 5,219 taxpayers with some physical or mental disability or serious illness.
The list concludes with 53,433 taxpayers who did not provide the Pix key and do not fit into any of the legal priority categories.
The consultation can be made at Federal Revenue website. The taxpayer simply clicks on “My Income Tax” and then on the “Consult Refund” button. It is also possible to consult the Federal Revenue app for tablets and smartphones.
Payment will be made on October 31st, to the account or Pix key type CPF informed in the Income Tax declaration. If the taxpayer is not on the list, he must enter the Virtual Taxpayer Service Center (e-CAC) and obtain an extract from the declaration. If you find a pending issue, you can send a rectifying statement and wait for the next batches of fine mesh.
If, for any reason, the refund is not deposited in the account informed in the declaration, as in the case of a deactivated account, the amounts will be available for redemption for up to 1 year at Banco do Brasil. In this case, the citizen will be able to schedule credit in any bank account in their name, through the BB Portal or by calling the bank’s Relationship Center on 4004-0001 (capitals), 0800-729-0001 (other locations) and 0800-729-0088 (special phone number exclusively for the hearing impaired).
If the taxpayer does not redeem the amount of their refund after 1 year, they must request the amount on the e-CAC Portal. When entering the page, the citizen must access the “Declarations and Statements” menu, click on “My Income Tax” and then in the “Request refund not redeemed in the banking network” field.
