Taxpayers in Brazil are encouraged to file their Income Tax declarations by May 10 to secure a chance of receiving their refunds in the first batch, which is scheduled to be distributed on May 29. The Federal Revenue Agency emphasizes that early filers without any outstanding issues will be prioritized for payment, alongside categories such as the elderly, people with disabilities or serious illnesses, and educators whose primary income comes from teaching. This initiative aims to expedite the refund process for approximately 9 million taxpayers, benefiting those who comply with the deadlines.
