The secretary of Federal Revenue from Brazil, Robinson Barreirinhas, stated this Tuesday (24) that the fundraising measures involving fintechs, bets and JCP interest should yield R$4.4 billion to the federal government. Of this total, the forecast is that R$260 million will come from increased taxation on the GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) of online sports betting.
The projection was released this Tuesday (24) by Secretary Barreirinhas, during the release of the first Income and Expense Assessment Report for 2026, referring to the months of January and February.
According to Barreirinhas, the increase in taxation on bets is part of a set of fiscal adjustments aimed at expanding federal revenue. The measure affects the gross gaming revenue of authorized operators, increasing the sector’s contribution to public coffers.
Fintechs and JCP
In addition to taxation on betting, the secretary informed that revenue from the Social Contribution on Net Profit (CSLL) from financial institutions, especially fintechs, should generate R$1.1 billion. The rates were increased according to the type of entity, with banks and traditional financial institutions now paying 20%.
The increase in taxation on interest on equity (JCP) should result in R$3.1 billion in additional revenue. The rate was increased from 15% to 17.5% on the date of payment or credit to the beneficiary.
The measures are part of the federal government’s strategy to increase revenue through tax adjustments in specific sectors. The government also stated that the cut in tax benefits will have an impact of R$16.5 billion on public accounts. In total, the expectation is that the impact of the measures proposed by the government on public accounts in 2026 will be R$20.9 billion.
