Taxpayers have until December 30 to opt fo PGBL or make a contribution.
Anyone wishing to use the PGBL (Free Benefit Generator Plan - "Plano Gerador de Benefício Livre") to deduct Income Tax must pay attention to the deadline established by the Federal Revenue Office. Taxpayers have until December 30 to choose this type of private pension or make a contribution.
PGBL investors can deduct the contributions made to the plan on their income tax return up to a limit of 12% of their annual gross taxable income.
By opting for this, taxpayers postpone the payment of income tax, since it is collected only at the time of redemption of the accumulated amount (formed by the contributions and income obtained).
In addition to contracting this private pension or making a contribution until the last bank day of the year, December 30, 2021, the taxpayer must:
Note: if the plan is in the name of dependents over 16 years of age, they must also be Social Security contributors.
Taxpayers must pay attention to the choice of taxation regime at the time of total or partial redemption of PGBL, indicating preference for progressive or regressive taxation.
Before defining the taxation, it is important to simulate which model of income tax return best fits your reality.
In this case, the progressive income tax taxation table will be applied, with rates ranging from 0% to 27.5%, depending on the amount of redemption.
