In 2025, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (IRS) will enhance its oversight of financial transactions, focusing on a broader scope than just transactions exceeding R$5,000. Contrary to previous reports, it's important to understand that the IRS will monitor all of your financial movements, including transactions of smaller amounts. The key threshold refers to the total sum of all transactions within a given month, not the value of individual transactions. This means, for example, if you make ten R$500 payments, totaling R$5,000, those transactions will be monitored by the IRS. Even intra-account transfers between your own accounts will be subject to scrutiny.
The legal framework governing this oversight is outlined in Article 15 of the regulations, which mandates financial institutions to report transactions when the total monthly sum exceeds R$5,000 for individuals, or R$15,000 for companies. Importantly, once this threshold is crossed, the IRS will not only monitor that month but will track all transactions for the entire year, regardless of whether individual transactions exceed R$5,000. Even if a single month sees a balance surpassing this limit, your entire financial history will be monitored under the new regulations.
This change also impacts payment methods such as credit, debit, and PIX transactions, including those on cryptocurrency exchanges. All financial institutions, including digital wallets and exchanges like Binance, Bitget, and Mercado Bitcoin, are required to report any relevant transactions. The e-Financeira system will collect data from these transactions every six months, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of all financial activity, including payments above R$5,000 for individuals and R$15,000 for businesses. This extended oversight now covers cryptocurrency transactions, both domestically and internationally, setting the stage for tax collection starting in 2026 on assets held outside Brazil.
The Federal Revenue’s expanded surveillance aims to reduce tax evasion by tightening control over both traditional and emerging payment systems like Pix and cryptocurrencies. With the rise in digital finance and international transactions, Brazil seeks to align with global standards such as the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) to combat tax evasion. This shift ensures that Brazilian authorities can track financial activities more effectively, guaranteeing that individuals and businesses comply with the country’s tax regulations. It's crucial to remain vigilant about your financial transactions and consult with professionals to ensure compliance and avoid potential tax is
