According to some historians, the Income tax originated in England in 1799. In that century, as it was at war against the French empire, the country was experiencing several financial difficulties, so it decided to charge part of the population's income to increase its revenue. After that, several countries also joined this mechanic.

In this sense, today, in Brazil, the Income Tax is a federal tribute. It must be paid every time a person or company earns money, whether from their work, renting their assets or income from financial investments. People pay income tax throughout the year, as it is automatically levied on most of these revenues.
But a novelty promises to make life easier for Brazilians who will have to make their income tax declaration. Employees with a silver or gold level on the Gov.br portal gained access to more services and features within the Federal Revenue Service Center (e-CAC).
That is, taxpayers at this level will have access to functionalities that until then were restricted to those who had a digital certificate, a type of electronic signature sold on the market. This benefit will be released on March 15th, making Brazilians who access the Gov.br account with a silver or gold level are entitled to services such as a pre-filled income tax return on the e-CAC.
In this way, this category allows the revenue to automatically provide data verified in declarations sent by companies, financial, real estate and medical institutions, leaving it up to the employee to check whether these are correct and, if necessary, readjust them. According to the Federal Revenue, these services will reduce the difficulty of completing the declaration.
“After the 15th, when making the declaration using the pre-filled option, the taxpayer starts with several fields already filled in based on the information from income, deductions, assets, rights, debts and real encumbrances already received by the Federal Revenue from paying sources, real estate institutions or medical services, for example. This action is important, as it reduces the risk of data errors or discrepancies and, consequently, the risk of the statement falling into a fine mesh”, he highlights Murillo Torelli, professor of financial and tax accounting at the Center for Social and Applied Sciences (CCSA) at Mackenzie Presbyterian University (UPM).
