What is Real Profit?

In Real Profit, the company needs to account for all revenues and expenses in detail, following accounting standards. This includes consideration of revenues, costs, operating expenses, depreciation, amortization, among other elements.

It is worth noting that the real profit is mandatory for companies that have a turnover of more than R $ 78 million in the year. However, other companies may choose to adopt this requirement regime even without obligation, as long as they comply with the legal requirements to do so.

For the application of Real Profit, it is necessary a more detailed and complex accounting, because the company needs to maintain its records and financial controls in accordance with specific accounting standards. Thus, bookkeeping is essential for the correct calculation of taxes due.
