CNJ removes requirement for advance ITCMD payment in extrajudicial inventories

The National Council of Justice (CNJ) has issued a resolution, following a request from the Colégio Notarial do Brasil — Conselho Federal (CNB/CF), stating that the Inheritance and Donation Tax (ITCMD) no longer needs to be paid in advance for extrajudicial inventories.

Previously, proof of tax payment was a mandatory condition for finalizing public deeds of inventory and partition in notary offices. This requirement often hindered families who possessed assets, such as real estate, but lacked the immediate liquidity to pay the tax. Under the new rules, the deed can be formalized first, though the tax obligation remains subject to state-level regulations, deadlines, and potential penalties for late payment.

Extrajudicial inventories in Brazil have seen significant growth. Since the legal permission for the procedure began in 2007, there have been over 3.1 million deeds recorded. In 2025 alone, 261,602 acts were performed, marking a record high and a nearly 580% increase in volume since the start of the series.
