EFD-Reinf: deadline to fulfil the new stage is approaching

The companies that are in the EFD-Reinf second group (with a turnover of up to BRL 78 million, in 2016) should be aware of the approximation of the deadline to file the obligation. Effective January 10, 2019, these taxpayers should already provide the information to the system.

In view of the constant changes in the schedule that EFD-Reinf has passed through, doubts on the deadlines arise for the next installments. For this reason, it is worth remembering the valid dates:

- 1st group: companies of the first group should continue filing their events normally until the 15th of the following month.

- 2nd group: from 8:00 a.m., on January 10, 2019, for events that occurred on or after January 1, 2019;

- 3rd group: from 8:00 a.m., on July 10, 2019, for events that occurred on or after July 1, 2019; and

- 4th group: on a date to be set in a RFB act.

It is important to emphasize that companies must file the events until the fifteenth day of the following month. If the last day scheduled to file is not a business day, the transmission must be advanced to the prior business day.

The most recent change from the EFD-Reinf calendar was through RFB Normative Instruction 1842/2018, which aligned the filing of this obligation to eSocial.

Domingues e Pinho Contadores has advised companies of different sizes in meeting EFD-Reinf obligations, evaluating the adequate response to the system, checking inconsistencies, set-ups and validations until the effective filing, a strategic support in this phase when the obligations accumulate before the Treasury.
