Receita Federal Releases Fourth IRPF Refund Batch

Overview

• The Receita credited the fourth refund batch on Monday, August 31, sending R$1.238 billion to 521,935 taxpayers nationwide and R$17.6 million to 5,860 recipients in Rio Grande do Norte.
• Law-defined priority in the batch covers 16,850 taxpayers aged 80 or older, 86,873 aged 60–79, 9,029 people with disability or serious illness, and 26,769 teachers, with an additional 338,912 prioritized for using prefilled returns or opting for PIX.
• Taxpayers can check inclusion and the full processing extrato via the Receita site, the Meu Imposto de Renda page, the e-CAC portal or the Receita mobile app and must use a gov.br account at prata or ouro level to see detailed status and malha fina notices.
• Refunds are paid only to bank accounts in the taxpayer’s name and the Receita’s security routines block credits with incorrect data; Bank of Brazil offers a rescheduling service to correct account details for up to one year from the first credit attempt.
• If a return is held in the malha fina the e-CAC will show the discrepancy and taxpayers must file a retificadora to correct errors or request the unclaimed refund through e-CAC if they do not collect the payment within a year.
