    1. What is Income Tax?

    Income tax is a tax levied annually by the Federal Government. At the end of each year, the citizen of our country needs to inform how much he earned in the previous calendar year through the declaration. That is, in 2022, for example, I need to inform the Federal Revenue Service (RFB) of my 2022 income movement.



    The income tax return is also called the Annual Adjustment Declaration (DAA).

    2. Who needs to file 2022 income tax?

    The 2022 income tax return is a mandatory annual return required by the Internal Revenue Service for every citizen who in the previous calendar year:

    1. Received taxable income above BRL 28.559,70;
    2. Received income that is exempt, untaxed and taxed exclusively at source above BRL 40.000,00;
    3. Received capital ganhos subject to taxation in any month relating to operations on the national and international stock exchanges;
