Taxes and DARF

How Seferu estimates the monthly tax on B3 trades, losses to carry forward and the DARF due date.

For trades on B3, Seferu works out the month's result, separates day trades from swing trades, carries losses forward and estimates the DARF with its due date. It's an estimate built from your journal, to check against your broker statements or your accountant before paying.

#Where to find it

  • In Reports, the Tax card shows the next DARF. Click View details for the full report
  • Or ask in the chat: "do I owe a DARF this month?" or "what are my accumulated losses?"

The Tax card shows up once you have closed trades on B3.

#What you see

  • Next DARF: the amount, the due date and the code (6015)
  • Losses to carry forward, separately for day trades and swing trades
  • Withholding to offset: tax withheld by the broker and not used yet
  • Monthly table: Day trade, Swing trade, Exempt, Tax due, Withholding, DARF and Due date

#Rules applied

#What's not included

  • Trades outside B3 (US markets, forex, crypto) follow other rules and show separately
  • Seferu doesn't file your annual return or generate the DARF slip. Use the amount and code on the Receita Federal website or app

#Keep it accurate

  • Make sure every B3 trade is in the journal, with fees. Statements by chat →
  • Record DARF payments with Move money → Taxes on the account, so they show in Transactions

Seferu's tax numbers are an estimate, not tax advice. Check them against your broker statements or with an accountant before paying.
