No Income Tax is levied on alimony – and statements may be corrected towards refunds for taxes paid over the last 5 years

As previously reported by BTLAW BTLAW on the link https://btlaw.com.br/2022/06/07/stf-afasta-exigencia-de-irpf-sobre-pensao-alimenticia/, has decided that income tax should not be levied on alimony resulting from family law (ADI 5422).

Brazil's federal revenue (Receita Federal do Brasil/RFB) has clarified that alimony funds must now be declared as non-taxable. Moreover, anyone who has paid income tax on alimony over the last 5 years can now correct these statements and receive a refund.
