Q & A

What is the purpose of the e-financeira platform?

The e-financeira platform allows financial institutions, such as banks and credit card companies, to report transaction data to the Receita Federal, helping the tax authority track large financial movements and ensure compliance with tax laws.

In 2025, the reporting threshold for individuals was raised from R$ 2,000 to R$ 5,000, and for businesses, the threshold increased from R$ 5,000 to R$ 15,000. These changes mean that transactions exceeding these amounts must now be reported to the Receita Federal.

Does making transactions above the new thresholds automatically trigger taxes?

No, exceeding the new thresholds does not automatically result in taxation. The Receita Federal uses the reported information to compare with income declarations. If discrepancies are found, the taxpayer may be subject to an audit or penalties.
