Frequently Asked Questions

The most common questions about operating Bitso and complying with IT in Brazil.

Does Bitso report to Brazil's tax authority (Receita Federal)?

Yes. Bitso performs monthly reports to the Brazilian tax authority (Receita Federal, similar to the IRS) via IN RFB 1888/2019. This means that the RFB already has automatic access to your trade data. Monthly sales up to R$35,000 are exempt from IT on capital gains.

Do I need to declare operations on Bitso in the IRPF?

Yes. You must include your crypto assets in the 'Assets and Rights' section of the annual IRPF declaration. If your monthly sales were below R$35,000 in all months of the year, there is no IT to pay on the gains. Above this limit, a progressive rate (15% to 22.5%) applies to the profit - collected via DARF (code 4600) by the last business day of the following month.

What is Bitso's CNPJ?

Bitso's CNPJ in Brazil is 35.136.120/0001-03. You can check the registration status on the Brazilian tax authority (Receita Federal, similar to the IRS) portal at cnpj.receita.fazenda.gov.br.

Is Bitso authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil?

No. Bitso does not have formal authorization from the Central Bank of Brazil as a PSAV. This does not necessarily imply illegality - several large exchanges operate without this authorization - but it is a regulatory risk factor to consider.

Does Bitso accept Pix for deposit and withdrawal?

Yes. Bitso accepts Pix for operations in Brazilian Real (BRL). This facilitates deposits and withdrawals with instant settlement, without the need for TED or DOC.

What changes for Bitso with the new DeCripto rule in 2026?

Starting July 2026, DeCripto (IN 2.291/2025) will replace IN 1888. For Bitso users, the transition will be smooth, as the exchange already has a reporting structure. The main change is that the data will follow the international OECD CARF standard, increasing global transparency. Learn all about DeCripto here →
