Revenue expects to receive 39.5 million income tax returns in 2023

The Federal Revenue reported this Monday (27) that it expects to receive up to 39.5 million Income Tax declarations in 2023. The increase is caused by the lack of correction of the table’s exemption range. Last year, 36.3 million declarations were submitted.

The agency also released new rules for the delivery of declarations, including the new deadline, which from this year will be between March 15th and May 31st. In previous years, delivery of the income tax return began in early March and lasted until the end of April. This year, the program for filling in taxpayer data will be made available close to the opening deadline.

Restitution will have new priority group

The income tax refund schedule will have five batches, the first on May 31st, the second on June 30th, the third batch on July 31st, the fourth batch on August 31st and the fifth and last batch of restitution on September 29th. Among the news announced by the Revenue, is the inclusion in the prioritization of receipts from taxpayers who used the pre-filled statement or chose to receive the refund via Pix.

Authorization of access to the pre-filled statement

Another novelty in the income tax declaration program this year will be authorization to access pre-filled declarations, which can be done by people from the same family nucleus, such as a mother or father who wants to make the declaration for their child, for example. With this, the taxpayer will be able to authorize another CPF to make his IRPF declaration, using the data from the pre-filled declaration.

Access can be done through an authorization from the CPF holder through the Meu Imposto de Renda program. A CPF can be authorized by up to 5 people. To do so, both users (both those who access and those who authorized access) need to have a silver or gold level account at Gov.Br. The target audience for this novelty is not accountants, who must have an electronic power of attorney for access.

Persons who received taxable income, subject to adjustment in the declaration, whose sum was greater than R$ 28,559.70 in the last year, who received exempt, non-taxable income or taxed exclusively at source are obliged to fill out the income tax return in 2023 , the sum of which was greater than R$ 40,000, obtained, in any month, a capital gain on the sale of assets or rights subject to the levy of the Tax or carried out disposal operations on stock, commodity, futures and similar exchanges, whose sum was greater than BRL 40,000 or with calculation of net gains subject to tax.
