Brazil has introduced the Receita Sintonia pilot program, established by RFB Ordinance No 511 of 19 February 2025, to encourage corporations and nonprofits to improve their tax compliance, reduce disputes, and improve transparency.

The program grades taxpayers (A+ to D) based on their compliance with tax regulations in four areas: registration, reporting, consistency, and payment.

The Top-grade achievers (A+) may enjoy benefits like expedited tax refunds, enhanced customer support, and exclusive access to specialised training opportunities.

The monthly breakdown and final classification will be made available exclusively to taxpayers on the following dates:

  • 24 February 2025: Taxpayers classified as “A+”
  • 2 June 2025: Taxpayers classified as “A”
  • 4 August 2025: Taxpayers classified as “B”
  • 5 October 2025: Taxpayers classified as “C”
  • 4 December 2025: Taxpayers classified as “D”

The Receita Sintonia Program pilot will begin on 24 February 2025.
