The deadline to join the tax debt renegotiation program with the Federal Revenue Service begins on Friday (5), which allows debts to be paid without penalties, avoiding tax proceedings.
Interested parties must fill out a form to join the so-called “Incentive Self-Regulation Programme”, which will be available on Tuesday (2). Due to technical problems, the start was postponed until Friday (5).
The postponement “does not affect the incentives that taxpayers can receive through self-regulation,” the Federal Revenue Service said in a memo.

Approval of the application is subject to payment of the initial debt amount, indicated at the time of opening the application.

However, each installment must have a minimum value:
- R$200 for individuals;

Each installment will have interest calculated at a Selec rate, accrued monthly, calculated from the month following the date of debt consolidation until the month before payment – i.e. interest increases progressively according to the number of installments.
The installment amount will also be increased by 1% for the month in which payment is made.
