Revenue pays IR refund for those who left the fine mesh this Monday

The IRS deposits this Monday (31) the Income Tax refunds from previous years. The residual lot will be paid to 471,447 taxpayers who entered the fine mesh, but who settled their accounts with the Tax Authorities.

In all, BRL 800 million will be returned, with around BRL 270 million for taxpayers with legal priority, such as the elderly and people with disabilities.

The money will be deposited in the account informed by the taxpayer when submitting the declaration. It is also possible to receive by Pix, if you have chosen this option.

Of the total number of contributors, 382,013 are non-priority.

The legal priority covers elderly people over 80 years old (6,483), elderly people between 60 and 79 years old (54,365), people with some physical or mental disability or serious illness (5,516) and taxpayers whose main source of income is teaching (23,070).

If you are entitled to a refund and have not yet received the amount, it is necessary to check whether the IRS found any discrepancies and rectify the statement, correcting or adding information. Without sending the rectifier with the correct data, the declaration does not leave the fine mesh and the refund is not released in the Revenue’s lots.

The taxpayer can make a complete consultation of the status of his declaration through the processing extract, accessed on the e-CAC Portal.

HOW TO INQUIRE IF YOU ARE IN THE FINE MESH LOT

The 2022 fine mesh had over 1 million contributors. Of the total of 38.2 million declarations received this year, 1.032 million documents were retained in the mesh.

According to the tax authorities, this number represents 2.7% of the total declarations delivered.

The amount returned on Monday will be corrected by the Selic (basic interest rate) accrued from the month following the deadline for submitting the declaration until the month prior to payment plus 1% in the month of deposit. If the credit is not carried out for some reason, the amounts will be available for up to one year at Banco do Brasil.

If you miss this deadline, you will need to make a request on the e-CAC portal, in the menu “Declarations and Statements”, “My Income Tax”. You must click on “Request a refund not redeemed in the banking network”.

THE MAIN REASONS FOR FINE MESH ARE:

• Omission of income of the holder or dependent (41.9%)
• Failure to deduct medical expenses (28.6%)
• Difference between the IR informed by the taxpayer and the one sent by the company to the Federal Revenue (21.9%)
• Other reasons such as general deductions, including education and others, cumulatively received income (such as INSS arrears) and divergent information about Carnê-leão (7.6%)
