Deadline to pay Income Tax on debt expires this Tuesday (10)

The taxpayer who intends to pay the Income Tax 2022 in automatic debit must run. The deadline to pay off the single IR quota or put all quotas in automatic debit since the first installment ends at 23:59 this Tuesday (10).

After this period, according to the Federal Revenue, it is still possible to pay the tax in installments and pay it by debt, but only after the second installment. For the first quota or single quota, payment must be made by Darf (Federal Revenue Collection Document) until May 31, the last day to send the IR statement.

The IRS received just over 20 million income tax returns for 2022 until 11 am this Monday (9). For this year, 34.1 million documents are expected. Those who have IR to pay can pay in up to eight installments. For amounts from R$10 to R$100, the taxpayer must pay in a single installment.

The taxpayer should also be aware of the due dates of the Darfs. Whoever puts it on automatic debit must monitor whether or not the discount was made at their bank. If you are late, you pay fine and interest.

Fine can reach 20% of the Income Tax due

Anyone who delays the payment of the tax due is subject to a fine of 0.33% per day, limited to 20% of the amount of the installment. Experts warn that, if you leave it for the 31st, you need to know your bank’s deadlines to be able to pay the tax on the correct date.

Another tip is to pay Darf through Pix, one of the Federal Revenue’s novelties for this year’s Income Tax. In this case, the collection document will be issued by the program with a QR code to settle the amounts.

Richard Domingos, from Confirp Consultoria Contábil, says that, for those who are in financial difficulties, postponing payment and making it through Darf until May 31 can be a way out, but always paying attention not to miss the deadline. and get even more indebted to it.

HOW TO PUT INCOME TAX IN AUTOMATIC DEBIT

1. After filling out the IR declaration, go to “Ficha”, in “Declaration Summary” and “Tax Calculation”
2. Enter your bank details (bank, branch and account number)
3. Choose the number of shares and whether it will be by automatic debit
4. Also inform if the installment will be from the first quota or single quota (for delivery until May 10) or if it will be from the second quota
5. Submit the IR and save the receipt

If the taxpayer has not opted for automatic debit in the declaration and wants to join later, it is possible to access the e-CAC Portal, under “My Income Tax”. Under “Payment”, select “Consult, Authorize and Cancel Direct Debit”.

In the e-CAC, it is also possible to issue Darf and change the number of IR quotas, in addition to bank details, without having to rectify the declaration.

How do I know how much I will pay in tax?

The taxpayer can only know how much he will pay in Income Tax when filling out his entire declaration. When informing the tax authorities of your earnings and expenses, in addition to investments and assets, the program automatically generates information if there will be a refund or if you need to pay the tax.

The refund occurs when the worker paid more tax than he owed in the base year, which in this return is 2021. Whoever paid less will have to pay the difference now, so the return is called an annual adjustment.

It is very important to fill in all the data correctly, with documentation that proves the right to legal deductions. The taxpayer is able to deduct expenses with health, education, dependents and private pension, among others.
