The Federal Revenue informs that until 24:00 on Tuesday (31), the end of the delivery period, 36,322,912 declarations of the Individual Income Tax (IRPF) 2022, calendar year 2021, were received.
The agency’s expectation of receiving 34.1 million statements was exceeded.

Record in the number of IRPF statements is surprising, analyzes Unafisco
The 36 million IRPF declarations delivered were surprising since the average growth in the number of declarants over the last five years is 2.84%.
As 31.6 million declarations were delivered in 2021, the forecast for this year was that this number would rise to 32,531,882.
This vertiginous increase is mainly due to the non-correction of the table, which is lagged by 134.53%.
The government should update the IR table and exempt those who earn up to R$ 4,465.00 to promote some fiscal justice.

Thin mesh
Of the statements delivered, the Federal Revenue informed that just over 2 million have already been withheld for analysis, the so-called fine mesh, due to some type of divergence found.
