Direct answer: Brazil’s DITR 2026 rural-property return runs from August 10 through 11:59:59 p.m. Brasília time on September 30, 2026. Owners, holders of useful title and possessors generally file unless a statutory immunity or exemption applies. IN RFB 2,330/2026 governs the filing.
Use the Agribusiness hub, Accounting and Tax trail and the VTN pillar.

| Topic | 2026 rule |
|---|---|
| Filing window | Aug 10–Sep 30 |
| Web | available to all through Minhas Declarações do ITR |
| Access | silver/gold gov.br account |
| Desktop PGD | optional only for PF property up to 100 hectares |
| Web mandatory | PF above 100 hectares and PJs |
| Late penalty | 1% per month/fraction; minimum BRL 50 |
Gather title/possession, CIB/Nirf, prior return, total/taxable/protected/used areas, CAR and environmental evidence, maps, contracts and the VTN at January 1, 2026. Tax may be paid in up to four instalments, each at least BRL 50; tax below BRL 100 is paid once. The first or single amount is due September 30.
Repeating last year’s area or VTN, claiming immunity without evidence and treating CAR data as sufficient tax proof are major risks. Read rural accounting, rural income tax and PF versus PJ.
Can an exempt property be ignored automatically?
No. Eligibility and filing implications must be checked.
Can everyone use the desktop program?
No. In 2026 only a PF with property up to 100 hectares may choose it.
What is the minimum late penalty?
BRL 50.
Can DITR be amended?
Yes before an ex officio proceeding, under Federal Revenue’s procedure.
When is advice recommended?
For ownership changes, environmental areas, disputed VTN, usufruct or a tax notice.
