2. Exemption for lower incomes
Brazilians who earned less than R$28,559.70 in 2022 are also exempt from income tax. This means that the taxpayer had an annual income below the specified minimum amount, guaranteeing exemption from payment.
3. Age exemption
Seniors over the age of 65 who had a pension or pension of up to R$24,751.74 per year can benefit from the IR exemption.
However, those who receive another source of income, such as rent, must declare and collect the tax.
4. Freedom from addiction
Finally, people who are classified as dependents in any other statement can use the exemption.
However, it will be necessary to implement the declaration so that the state system can cross-check the data.
