The Income Tax declaration for 2025 income can now be submitted from this Tuesday, anticipating the official start of the campaign, scheduled for April 1st. The submission is available on the Finance Portal, but the recommendation is clear: although possible, it is not prudent to proceed now.
According to , a website specializing in economics and current affairs, the first days of the campaign are traditionally marked by technical adjustments and possible system failures. Even if the functionality is active, the initial phase can bring inconsistencies that end up forcing later corrections.
The calendar remains unchanged. Taxpayers have until June 30th to submit the declaration, in a single period that covers all income categories. There is, therefore, sufficient margin to avoid hasty decisions.
System available, but still being adapted
The Federal Revenue already allows the sending of declarations, but the system is in the initial phase of operation. In the early days, technical restrictions or glitches associated with updating tax data are not uncommon.
In many cases, the curiosity to understand whether there will be a refund or tax to pay leads many taxpayers to move forward immediately. Still, the recommendation is to use this phase mainly for simulations. This exercise allows you to test different scenarios without compromising the final version of the declaration.
The IRS corresponds to the annual obligation to declare all income obtained in the previous year. In this case, the income earned between January and December 2025 is at issue. The calculation includes salaries, pensions, property income, capital and other categories, and may result in a refund, additional amount payable or zero balance.
Single deadline and exclusively digital delivery
Delivery is made exclusively online, through the Finance Portal. Access can be done with NIF and password, Digital Mobile Key or Citizen Card.
Before proceeding, it is advisable to ensure that everyone in the household has active credentials. Access recovery can take several days, which, at a more advanced stage of the campaign, can become a hindrance.
Deductible expenses must be previously validated, being decisive for the final tax calculation. The documentation must be kept for four years, for eventual verification.
Automatic income tax and new rules
Automatic Income Tax should cover around two million declarations this year, an increase compared to the previous period. The expansion results, above all, from the inclusion of taxpayers covered by the IRS Young regime.
This regime now allows partial or total exemption of up to ten years for workers up to 35 years of age, upon express choice in the declaration. At the same time, changes were introduced in the IRS brackets, with a slight reduction in intermediate rates.
The minimum existence increases to 12,880 euros, ensuring exemption up to that amount. The specific deduction remains at R$4,597.09.
Among the new features, the possibility of deducting part of domestic work expenses, as well as new deductions associated with the requirement for an invoice in cultural sectors, also stands out.
More contained refunds and greater demands
After changes to withholding taxes in 2025, the amount withheld monthly is closer to the tax due. In practice, this has led to smaller refunds or, in some cases, additional amounts to be paid.
This reality reinforces the importance of simulating different options before sending the declaration. Issues such as joint or separate taxation can directly impact the final result.
According to the same source, simulation tools continue to be one of the most effective ways of avoiding surprises, allowing choices to be adjusted before final delivery.
