ile income tax returns" explains that a person who participates in the corporate
structure of a company is required to submit a declaration of income tax. This
requirement is independent of income that the taxpayer received during the year.

Which one to choose: Simplified or complete?
Aante to discuss in greater detail what are the costs deductible for income tax
purposes, we believe that is more relevant to discuss different forms of state i
ncome tax. If you have to deliver their declaration of income tax, you can choos
e between two forms: simple or complete. In both cases you will need the followi
ng documents:
• • •
Information on earnings of the company where he works or where she worked; Infor
mation on financial investments of the banks which have or had accounts; Receipt
s for medical expenses, education expenses etc.., Although it is not necessary t
o attach them in the declaration.
The main differences between the two types of models are summarized below:
•
Simplified model: The simplified declaration may be made by any contributor. How
ever, the deductions in this model are replaced with a standard discount of 20%
on the taxable income, provided that the discount does not exceed the amount of
R $ 11,669.72. Thus,€the simplified model is suitable for people who do not have
many deductions, since in that case it is advisable to opt for the full model.
When filling out the simplified model, you must inform the CPF or CNPJ their pri
mary payer, but must also indicate the fields provided income from all sources.
Complete Model: If you do not fit the simplified model, ie have many deductions
to be made, such as health care, education spending, dependent etc. May declare
the tax in a complete manner, where it is necessary to inform all costs and inco
me occurred in the year. Be sure to save all your receipts and proof of income,
because you never know if it will suffer a possible audit of Revenue Federal.Se
its total deductions exceed the limit of R $ 11,669.72 your best option is to ma
ke a full declaration. Despite being subject to deductions limited to R $ 1,584.
60 and costs of education have the individual annual limit of R $ 2,480.66, medi
cal expenses can be deducted in full and, as the tax on some investments are alr
eady paid at source it is not difficult to have deductions limite.Caso above tha
t you choose the full model, be sure to keep receipts of income and expenditure
for five years at least, the period during which the IRS may require proof of de
ductions if there suspicion of tax evasion.

Annual Statement of Exempt
As discussed above, even if you do not need an income tax return, you must submi
t the Annual Statement of Exempt (DAI), binding on all persons who are registere
d with the SFC and that over the past year, had taxable income of up to R $ 15,7
64.28. The delivery of the statement begins in August and extends until the end
of November.
Built in 1998, declaring exempt aims to re-register all taxpayers registered wit
h the CPF, and can therefore determine any outstanding issues in entries and del
ete the numbers of taxpayers who have moved to another country, those who died a
nd those who have more of a register in the system.
•
Who is exempted? If you signed up with CPF in the year of submission of the decl
aration shall not be obliged to deliver his statement of exempt. Also exempted i
s the person whose number of CPF has been reported in the Statement of Annual Ad
justment of IRPF when presented in conjunction with the other spouse on behalf d
este.Os dependents included in the declaration of another taxpayer are exempt fr
om declaration-free. But for that, the IRS requires that the declaration by the
holder, social security numbers of dependents declared to be included. Re-regist
ration of CPFÉ as important as delivering the annual statement of adjustment, si
nce the taxpayer who fails to deliver the declaration of free for two consecutiv
e years will automatically terminate your CPF, which could end up in a lot of he
adaches, since the document is essential to daily pessoa.Portanto any, if you di
d not deliver his statement of last year's free, you can rectify the situation b
y paying a fee of R $ 5.50 in one of the following sites: branches of the Bank o
f Brazil, Federal Savings Bank or Post Office. That done, their situation will b
e automatically adjusted.

nd minimize the "bite of the lion" on your income. Current tax law allows the de
duction of various expenses, such as, for example, spending on social security c
ontribution to official and private spending on dependents, medical expenses and
education etc.. For ease, we split the deductions allowed by law into two group

As discussed above, there are several situations in which you can kill certain v
alues of its basis for calculating income tax, which means that the tax will be
taxed on the net value of these deductions. In practice, the basis for calculati
ng the tax is that value which will be applied on the rates of income tax.
How is the retention of the IR source
For many people who are not familiar with the matter, there are more technical t
erms used in the declaration of IR that confound taxpayers. This is the case, fo
r example, when we say that the tax was "withholding". This term is used when re
ferring to the portion of the tax which was collected by who made the payment to
the taxpayer already discounted this percentage retained as required by law. Th
is happens with companies that retain the income tax from the salary of its empl
oyees, provided it receives a value above the ceiling of R $ 1,313.69. In this c
ase, the company is obliged by law to deduct income tax on the employee's salary
, which receives the net amount of the discount. It is also the responsibility o
f undertaking the transfer of the discounted value to the IRS. In practice, only
the taxpayer has no income tax withheld by the payer in cases where you receive
a payment from another person or some value coming from abroad, as a retirement
, for example. In these cases, the tax is not withheld by the payer, which there
fore does not transfer the values to the IRS. This means you will receive the gr
oss pay, but will be responsible for calculating and
payment of the tax booklet by the famous lion, which is nothing more than a form
used for the payment of income tax was not withheld by the payer.
