Missed the Income Tax Deadline: What to Do in This Case? See Recommendations

Taxpayers who did not file their returns on time will face a fine

The deadline for submitting the 2025 Individual Income Tax Return ended on May 30. If you missed the deadline, it is crucial to act quickly to avoid further complications.

Late submissions incur a minimum fine of BRL 165.74, which can reach up to 20% of the tax owed. Additionally, the CPF may be marked as "pending regularization," making it harder to access credit and causing other registration issues.

Regularization of late tax returns

The recommendation is simple: submit your tax return as soon as possible. After submission, the Federal Revenue Service automatically calculates the fine and issues the Federal Revenue Collection Document (Darf) for payment. The sooner the Darf is paid, the lower the interest charges.

If you are due a refund, the fine will be directly deducted from the refund if the payment was not made on time.

Deadline for fine payment

Those who file their income tax return late have up to 30 days to pay the corresponding fine. After this period, late payment interest will begin to accrue.
