Imagine the hustle and bustle of tax season in the Vale do Paraíba and the Bragantina region in 2025. Over 805,000 tax declarations flooded in from diligent taxpayers, as reported by g1 based on data from the IRS. The deadline for submitting the 2025 Income Tax return was Friday, the 30th of May. Those who missed this crucial deadline are now in debt to the tax authorities.
This year, a total of 805,152 declarations were filed across the 46 cities in the region, slightly below the IRS’s target of 857,912 declarations. Despite falling short of the goal, the region achieved an impressive 93% of the set target. The number of declarations this year exceeded the combined total of the previous three years, showcasing a growing compliance among residents.
For those who missed the declaration deadline, the IRS outlines the consequences and steps to rectify the situation. Late filers face a monthly fine of 1% of the due tax amount, capped at 20%, starting from the day after the deadline. The minimum penalty stands at R$165.74, applicable even if no tax is owed. To avoid further penalties, taxpayers are advised to promptly address their overdue filings.
Late submissions follow the same process as timely ones, utilizing platforms such as the Programa Gerador da Declaração (PGD), the Meu Imposto de Renda app, or the e-CAC portal. However, tardy filers will receive a “Late Fee Notification” alongside a tax payment form, guiding them on the steps to regularize their tax status with the IRS.
In terms of tax refunds, the schedule for 2025 is as follows: 1st batch on May 30th, 2nd on June 30th, 3rd on July 31st, 4th on August 29th, and the 5th on September 30th. These dates offer a glimmer of hope for taxpayers expecting refunds and serve as an incentive for timely filings in the future.
Who exactly is obligated to file an income tax return? Individuals who earned taxable income exceeding R$33,888.00 in 2024 are required to declare. Additionally, those with non-taxable or exempt income surpassing R$200,000.00, or who engaged in capital gains or stock market operations above R$40,000.00, fall under the tax filing mandate. Various other criteria, such as owning assets over R$800,000.00, residency changes, or foreign income, also necessitate tax reporting.
