In this article, you will understand how the monitoring of Pix by the Federal Revenue Service can impact drivers of apps like Uber, with practical examples of how the inspection can affect these professionals and explanations about the application of income tax.
*ATTENTION! THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE REPEAL OF THE PIX MONITORING LAW BY THE MINISTER OF FINANCE FERNANDO HADDAD*
A IRS has intensified the monitoring of financial transactions carried out via Pix to identify undeclared income and combat informality in the market. This includes self-employed professionals, such as app drivers, who often receive payments directly and often do not declare their earnings correctly.
The focus of the IRS is not to create a new tax, but rather to ensure that the income tax already existing is duly collected.

How can a driver be penalized for monitoring?
If an Uber driver fails to correctly declare their income or attempts to conceal amounts received via Pix, IRS can identify you and apply penalties such as:
- Fine for failure to report income
- Default interest on the amount due
- Risk of being caught in the fine mesh and being asked to prove income
Even without the intention of fraud, carelessness can result in notifications and fines, especially if the volume of transactions exceeds the exemption limits.
How can Uber drivers protect themselves?
To avoid problems with the income tax, app drivers must adopt practices such as:
- Formalize as a MEI or ME: opt for Simple national helps you pay taxes in a simplified way.
- Separate personal and professional accounts: Avoiding mixing finances makes it easier to prove income.
- Keeping records organized: Keep receipts of payments, expenses and financial transactions.
- Consult an accountant: Professionals can help maintain tax regularity.
The monitoring of Pix from IRS is becoming increasingly strict, and app drivers like Uber need to adapt to avoid penalties and keep their activity regularized. Correct payment of income tax guarantees more security and stability for the professional.
When the app driver already declares his income at source because he is retired and does not receive Pix above 5 thousand Reais, what happens? If it is within the withheld amount, it would not need to be discounted again, this is called Tax.
Hahaha wrong, you have to add up all the amounts received and recalculate the IRRF, or even collect it on the lion's share.
Absurd! Artists and businessmen are forgiving tax debts, now the poor, suffering population wants to suck it up!
