In an election year, many presidential candidates begin to address various issues. One of the most talked about in the 2022 elections is the readjustment of the Income Tax table, which is presenting a huge disagreement with regard to inflation. We also note that the topic is being discussed by the main names that are running for president of the republic. Even tax exemption has already been addressed.

It is worth mentioning here that the former president of Brazil and current candidate, Lula (PT), made some comments about the possibility of tax exemption for citizens who are receiving amounts below R$ 5 thousand monthly. The current president, Jair Bolsonaro, also offered his position on the subject and says he is in favor of changing the table in question. In short, the two candidates claim that these adjustments could happen in the year 2023, as soon as they are taking office.
Another important point we need to comment on is that Bolsonaro, when he ran his campaign in 2018, also made this same promise. Initially, the plan was to increase the exemption range for those who were receiving values equivalent to five minimum wages, that is, approximately R$ 6,060. However – according to his argument – the Covid-19 pandemic ended up disrupting his plans on top of that.
What do the other candidates say about the IR?
Ciro Gomes from the PDT, for example, gave his opinion on the subject and said that there is indeed the possibility of a detailed review of the current IR table. His government plan mentions a 35% fixation. Searching for information, we find that this rate is currently set at 27.5%.
Finally, another point that we need to highlight here, which is also very important, is about the last correction made to the table. This change was made more than five years ago, more specifically in 2015; however, according to information from Unafisco, there is indeed an inequality of more than 134% in relation to inflation from 1996 to 2022. This means that the population is losing almost R$ 150 billion.
