Deputy Marcos Pollon’s Proposal Foresees Tax Relief on Salaries, Pensions, and Retirements Based on Medical Reports, Providing Support to Families Facing High Costs with Therapies and Treatments

According to the portal Conteúdo MS, the Commission for the Defense of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the Chamber of Deputies approved this week the Bill 394/2025, which provides for income tax exemption for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The text also extends the benefit to parents or legal guardians who prove financial dependency on the patient.

According to the proposal, the measure covers incomes such as salaries, pensions, and retirements. To obtain the exemption, it is mandatory to present a medical report that confirms the diagnosis of ASD, issued by a qualified professional.

In the case of guardians, the condition is that the autistic person is formally recognized as a financial dependent. The initiative aims to reduce the tax burden on families that often bear high expenses for therapies, medical follow-ups, and specialized treatments.

Project Advances in Congress

The author of the project, federal deputy Marcos Pollon (PL-MS), diagnosed with autism, argued that the approval represents an act of fiscal justice. According to him, the goal is to provide support to families that need to adapt their professional lives to ensure comprehensive support for children and dependents with ASD.

The parliamentarian stressed that guardians often need to sacrifice part of their income or working hours to dedicate themselves to caregiving. Therefore, the proposal seeks to recognize this effort and financially alleviate the impacted households.

The proposal will still go through other commissions in the Chamber of Deputies before moving on to a vote in the plenary. If approved, it will proceed to the Senate and subsequently to presidential sanction.

Benefit Depends on Documentation

According to an article published by the portal Conteúdo MS, the bill makes it clear that the granting of benefits requires documented proof. This means that both the clinical diagnosis of ASD and financial dependency must be validated to confirm the exemption.

The measure is inspired by benefits already granted to individuals with other health conditions that require ongoing treatment expenses. The text stipulates that the Federal Revenue Service will regulate the procedures for analyzing and accepting the documentation.

The income tax exemption could directly impact thousands of Brazilian families, bringing not only financial relief but also social recognition of the needs of the autistic community.

Next Steps in the Process

Now, Bill 394/2025 will proceed for analysis in other thematic commissions of the Chamber, such as Finance and Taxation, before being reviewed in the House’s plenary. Only after this stage will it be possible to assess its viability and potential implementation.

If approved, Brazil will take an important step in the field of fiscal and social inclusion for individuals with autism, strengthening public policies aimed at this group. The debate will likely engage associations, medical entities, and civil society organizations throughout the process.

What do you think of the project that approves income tax exemption for individuals with autism and also for parents and legal guardians, and in your opinion, what other initiatives should the government adopt to further support families dealing daily with the challenges of ASD?
