The project that expands the income tax exemption range for those who earn up to R $ 5,000 monthly should be voted on Wednesday (1st), from 16h, in the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies.
But until the morning of the vote, parliamentarians had already presented more than 50 amendments to the text reported by Deputy Arthur Lira (PP-AL), many of them focused on expanding the list of deductible IRPF expenses.
Among the proposals, the suggestion is to include in the list of deductions expenses with professionals and physical education establishments, such as personal trainers and gyms.

The amendment is signed by Deputy Aureo Ribeiro (Solidarity-RJ) and also supported by Rogéria Santos (Republicans-BA), Cavalcante (PL-RJ), Mario Heringer (PDT-MG) and Raimundo Santos (PSD-PA).
According to the advocates, the measure would be justified to stimulate healthier lifestyle habits, reducing future costs to the public health system.
Language, Rent and Prostheses Courses
Ribeiro also presented six last -minute amendments, including:
• Deduction of spending on medical-veterinary treatment of assistance animals;
• Exemption for language courses up to the annual limit of R $ 7,123.00;
• Inclusion of amounts paid to domestic employees;
• Deduction with rent of the property;
• Expenses with orthopedic appliances and dental prostheses.

Medical expenses
Other parliamentarians also sought to make the scope of the proposal more flexible. Representative Colonel Fernanda (PL-MT) suggested deducting an extensive list of everyday expenses, which includes electricity, water, garbage collection, food, fuel, transportation, internet, telephony, real estate, vehicles, medicines, school supplies and even clothing, with value limit linked to the minimum wage.
Deputy Zucco (PL-RS) has proposed exemption from drugs for continuous or costly use for the treatment of diseases such as tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson. There are also amendments that provide for gradual IR reduction to taxpayers over 65 years.
Plenary
The mayor, Arthur Lira, who acts as a rapporteur of the project, has already signaled that he will keep in the text only changes considered viable from the fiscal point of view.

The original proposal provides a cost of R $ 25.8 billion in 2026 with the expansion of the exemption range, offset by a progressive minimum tax of up to 10% over high rents and the taxation of dividends above R $ 50 thousand per month.
The challenge, however, is to reconcile political pressures for additional deductions with the need to preserve the sustainability of public accounts. If approved, the bill will continue to analyze the Senate.
