EFD-Reinf schedule: who should file and deadline

The Digital Tax Bookkeeping of Withholdings and Other Tax Information (EFD-Reinf), established by RFB Normative Instruction No. 1701/2017, is an SPED module, to be used by legal and individuals, in addition to Public Digital Bookkeeping System - eSocial. Both are accessory obligations to be met in 2018 that already require a great attention in its deployment, and will highly influence the companies' routines.

EFD-Reinf focuses on contracting services and taxes withholding. The use of this new system, together with the eSocial, will gradually replace the information filing through Withholding Income Tax Return (DIRF), the FGTS Payment Form and Social Security Information (GFIP), the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS) and the General Employed and Unemployed Register (CAGED).
