Revenue receives 4,600 direct donations to social funds, via IR

The Federal Revenue recorded, in the first 15 days of delivery of the Income Tax declaration, 4,655 direct donations to social funds aimed at promoting citizenship for children, adolescents and elderly people in situations of social vulnerability. According to the Tax Authorities, these donations correspond to almost R$ 3.4 million that will go to social funds.

These direct donations in the income tax return can only be made to municipal, state, district and national funds for children, adolescents and the elderly. To do this, at the time of the declaration, the taxpayer simply fills out the Donations form Directly in the Declaration and pays the Federal Revenue Collection Document (Darf) until the final deadline for submitting the declaration, which this year is May 31.

According to the Tax Authorities, of the total collected so far, R$ 2.21 million will be transferred to funds for the Rights of Children and Adolescents; and R$ 1.18 million to funds for the Rights of the Elderly Person, “according to the solidarity attitude of taxpayers who delivered their Income Tax Returns in March”.

The Revenue forecast is that the largest volume of declarations will be presented in May, which is the last month for submission.

Citizenship

“That is, there is still time for most taxpayers to know the Income Tax Destination and repeat the act of those who have already come forward and delivered their declaration, helping to promote citizenship for children, adolescents and elderly people in situations of social vulnerability ”, informed, in a note, the Federal Revenue Service.

In 2022, in the declaration referring to the calendar year 2021, more than R$ 143.4 million were allocated to funds for children and adolescents; and R$78.2 million for funds for the elderly.

To deduct the amounts donated, either in the declaration or during the year, the declaration must be completed in the complete regime, of legal deductions. It is not possible to make the allocation of tax if the declaration is filled out with the simplified regime.
