The government has issued a new ordinance updating the rules for Annex H of the personal income tax (Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Singulares or IRS) return to include expenses related to domestic work. Although this tax benefit was legally established last year, previous regulations failed to cover it. The update corrects this administrative oversight, allowing taxpayers to claim these deductions in their current filings.
