Tax on Bitcoin in Brazil: how it works
In Brazil, capital gains from selling crypto are taxed by the Receita Federal. The most important rule for individuals is the exemption: if total crypto sales in the month are up to R$35,000, the profit is tax-free. Above that monthly limit, tax applies to the gain (profit) — not to the total amount sold.
Rates follow the progressive capital-gains table: 15% up to R$5M, 17.5% from R$5–10M, 20% from R$10–30M and 22.5% above that. For most people the rate is 15%. Tax is paid via DARF by the last business day of the month after the sale.
Mind the reporting obligation
Regardless of paying tax, operations above certain amounts may require monthly reporting (IN RFB 1888/2019) when done outside national exchanges. Keeping a record of your buys (date, value, quantity) is essential to compute the gain correctly. This calculator estimates the tax, but the responsibility is yours — consult an accountant if in doubt.
