The move signals a push toward tougher, data-led oversight in 2026.
Overview
- The agency, which released its annual results Thursday, reported R$233.1 billion in tax credits assessed for 2025, with R$221.9 billion from companies and R$11.2 billion from individuals.
- Large companies made R$58.2 billion in voluntary self-corrections known as autorregularização, though only about R$6 billion turned into payments or payment plans.
- For individual income tax cases, collections reached R$5.2 billion, split between R$2.6 billion from 2.4 million who corrected returns and R$2.6 billion from 600,000 who were assessed by auditors.
- The Malha Fiscal Digital data-matching system flagged 20 types of discrepancies in 2025, sent 101,000 notices, and prompted R$1.5 billion in self-corrections plus R$2.6 billion in new assessments.
- Officials said 2026 will bring audits of taxpayers who kept foreign accounts off their returns after a final help phase, alongside growth of sector-focused teams that monitor large taxpayers.
