A relevant bill is currently pending before the Chamber of Deputies that establishes income tax on alimony payments. Under the bill, the person paying alimony (payer of alimony) will not be able to deduct the amount paid as alimony from their income tax. In turn, the person receiving alimony (receiver of alimony) will be exempt from taxation. The issue is also being discussed in the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in Direct Action of Unconstitutionality 5422.
