Understand
The President (PT) sent to Congress on Tuesday (18.mar.2025) the bill on income tax exemption for those who receive up to R $ 5,000 per month.
In practice, the government wants to expand the number of people who legally do not pay after declaring the data to.
Read in the infographic below a summary of the main changes that the government wants to get:
The measures have not yet come into force. They depend on the approval of deputies and senators, who must move the text. The government wants the measurement from 2026 – pre -election of the presidential election.
Up to R $ 5,000 per month
Lula proposes that Brazilians with gains of up to R $ 5,000 per month fail to pay income tax. It is a campaign promise of the petista, announced by the Minister of Finance, in November 2024.
For example, an informal worker who receives $ 4,552 monthly would no longer pay the rate of 22.5% determined by the current table.
The economic team estimates that about IR in 2026 with the expansion of the income range. It is an increase of 10 million compared to the current scenario.
The measure will have an impact on public accounts. The farm calculates that there will be a drop of $ 26 billion in the collection – the most recent estimate.
Up to R $ 7,000
This income range is not exempt, but there will be a progressive discount that will focus on what was charged in the previous income tax table.
To know how much the discount will be, you need to make a calculation. The formula is as follows:
- Fixed value of R $ 1,095.11 – (15,6% x taxable income) = Discount on the previous table
To facilitate understanding, the Poder360 prepared examples from fictitious wages. The worker who receives R $ 5,500 would receive a rebate of approximately R $ 234.66.
The secretaries and technicians of the Ministry of Finance made a presentation to journalists to explain the changes in income reform.
However, they did not detail how the calculation of the range of $ 5,000 up to $ 7,000, relatively complex. The details were only known after the bill was released. Here’s (PDF – 438 kb).
Above R $ 7,000
These monthly income will follow a income tax table similar to the one that already exists. The progressive rates of:
- strip 1 – 7,5%;
- track 2 – 15%;
- track 3 – 22,5%;
- track 4 – 27,5%.
The table itself, as it is known in the current form, will be released later.
More than R $ 50,000
They are those considered great riches, which total $ 600,000 per year. The economic team says 141,400 people will be required to pay IR.
High -income taxation will be progressive. If you exceed $ 600,000, an additional tax is already starting to focus.
The final rate is calculated by the following formula:
- (annual income – R$ 600 mil) / R$ 600 mil x 10% minimum tax = aliquot
The limit is for rent over $ 1.2 million. With this value, the rate reaches 10% – the ceiling established by the bill.
Income with direct exemption at source, such as dividends of companies. That is, those in which the tax is not collected immediately at the time of payment.
A professional with bond in (consolidation of labor laws) who receives more than $ 600,000 per year will not have to pay one more amount, for example. This is because your income tax is charged direct on payroll.
The government has placed the extra income for the highest incomes in order to compensate for the loss of revenue caused by the exemptions and discounts proposed in the reform. The farm states that the application of the additional fee should increase the collection by $ 25 billion.
Non -exterior dividends
The idea is to have a taxation of 10% of the remittances of dividends sent abroad. They are currently exempt.
Dividends are the part of the profit distributed to shareholders as remuneration for the investment. They are paid with deadlines determined by the companies, and do not necessarily follow the financial calendar.
The measure will be adopted to finance part of the exemption to Brazilians who receive up to R $ 5,000 per month. The collection is close to $ 9 billion.
There will be retention at the IRPF source in the payment of dividends in Brazil and for the investor in Brazil.
The individual or legal entity who lives or thirsty abroad will be taxed at the source on any value.
