Advertising tips

Where to advertise?

Submission is made through the IRPF 2024, which can be downloaded from the Federal Revenue website or through the “My IRPF” application on your cell phone (e-Government Silver or Gold account), using the pre-filled declaration.

Expenses that may first appear in an IR

Unlimited deductions (everything spent reduces the tax base)

Amounts paid as expenses

Contributions to social security from the Federation, the states, the Federal District and municipalities

Medical expenses, including health insurance

Deduction with limits (legislation stipulates deduction limits): Dependents (deduction of R$ 2,275.08 per year per dependent), Education (deduction of R$ 3,561.50 per year with their education or education of dependents), Private Pension (12% of taxable income).

Is MEI required to advertise on the go?

Yes, if your taxable income in 2023 is greater than R$ 30,639.90. If the MEI keeps regular accounting records, 100% of the profit will be exempt and therefore will not be required to file a return. But if you do not keep accounting records, you will apply the concept of income tax “presumption” to determine what portion of profit is exempt and the rest is taxable.

For example, if you have income of R$80,000 in 2023 and merchandise sales and expenses of R$20,000. In this case, 8% (the assumption rate specified in income tax legislation) is considered exempt income, i.e. R$ 6,400. The remainder, R$53,600 (R$80,000 – R$20,000 – R$6,400), is considered taxable income.

If not declared, what are the penalties?

Omitting (failing to file) an income tax return makes the CPF “irregular”. Therefore, individuals’ tax and administrative actions, such as foreign trade, passport issuance and renewal, banking transactions, etc., may be prevented. When the taxpayer is forced to submit a return, he must settle it as quickly as possible.

I didn’t declare going last year. What should I do?

With your Gov.br Standard Silver or Gold account, you can access the My IRPF app. Upon accessing the application, the system will display the IRPF status and, if applicable, the taxpayer will be able to file a return using the data from the pre-populated return. Note that the fine for late delivery is 1% per month on the tax due, and is limited to 20% of the tax due. If no tax is due, the fine amounts to R$165.74.
