New Normative Instruction 2275 Requires Notaries to Report Rentals and Creates “CPF of Properties” in Brazil; Revenue Will Have Total Cross-Check Within 12 Months

The publication of Normative Instruction No. 2275, on August 18, 2025, marked a turning point in the Federal Revenue’s control over the real estate market. The text establishes the so-called CPF of Properties — the Brazilian Real Estate Registry (CIB) — and requires notaries and municipalities to immediately report rental, purchase, and sale contracts.

In practice, the scheme of “not declaring rent” has come to an end.

According to the Institute of Real Estate Registry of Brazil (IRIB), the measure connects all notaries to the Cinter (National System of Territorial Information Management), sending transaction and rental data in real time.

How the CPF of Properties Works

The Brazilian Real Estate Registry (CIB) will assign a unique number to each property in the country, functioning similarly to the CPF of individuals.

This will clearly identify who the owner is, who rents, and who pays or receives income.

With this integration, under-the-table contracts and unreceipted rents will no longer have space.

As soon as a deed or contract is registered, the Revenue will have instant access to the information, cross-checking it with the Income Tax of the owner and the tenant.

Impact on Owners and Tenants

For landlords, the main change is that any rental income omitted will be automatically detected, resulting in fines, interest, and correction.

For tenants, the proof of expenses will also be more transparent, allowing correct deductions when provided by law.

The system closes a historical loophole that allowed informal agreements in the real estate market.

Now, even old contracts will need to be properly registered by municipalities and notaries, under the risk of tax irregularities.

The Role of Notaries and Municipalities

The normative instruction requires that notaries of deeds and property registrations are connected to Cinter, sending data in real time.

Municipalities must pass on information from the municipal registry and the IPTU, complementing the database.

This flow ensures the Federal Revenue total control over real estate transactions. For the taxpayer, it means more transparency, but also less room for evasion.

Consequences for the Market

The CPF of Properties has the potential to transform not only oversight but also the legal security of transactions.

Experts believe that the measure can reduce fraud, increase the formalization of contracts, and boost tax collection.

On the other hand, the new rule requires taxpayers’ attention. Those who do not declare the rent received or paid risk immediate penalties, with financial penalties that may compromise irregular gains.

And you, do you believe that the CPF of properties will bring more tax justice or merely increase bureaucracy for owners and tenants? Share your opinion in the comments.

Inconsequente como tudo nesse governo de m……, os alugueis que já estão caros, vão aumentar, haverá menos imóveis disponíveis para locação, ninguém construirá para locação aumentando o déficit habitacional, os alugueis já são tributados através do carnê leão, mas a sanha arrecadatoria da esquerda acabará destruindo esse mercado

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Owner of the largest pig farm on the planet, the Chinese company Muyuan Foods sent executives to Mato Grosso to study pig production in Brazil, as a step by China to get closer to the source of feed and ensure food security, although the investment has not yet been confirmed.

Archaeologists discovered in Pompeii the remains of a man who faced the eruption of Vesuvius holding a bowl on his head as a shield, a lamp to light the way, and ten bronze coins to restart life, in a find that confirms the account written by Pliny the Younger almost 2,000 years ago.

At 16 years old and without money to buy equipment, a student from the Sertão of Paraíba built his first telescope with two margarine buckets and a wall mirror, and today he brings space observations to schools and squares in the region with increasingly powerful devices.
