Digital declaration and possible scams

The Government Cyber ​​Incident Prevention, Treatment and Response Center (CTIR Gov) issued an alert about scams related to the filing of income tax returns. With the possibility of carrying out the procedure online, scammers are taking advantage of this to create fake websites and applications. These malicious campaigns seek to trick users into downloading and installing counterfeit apps. Mobile application distribution platforms, such as the Google Play Store for Android devices and the App Store for iOS devices, are being used to spread these frauds.

CTIR Gov reinforced that all information about Income Tax is sought on its official website and that all information, guidelines and programs regarding IRPF are published exclusively on the official address of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB).
