How Income Tax Can Help SUS Hospitals

Individuals can set aside a portion of the IRPF owed to charities and deduct the amount that will be paid into federal revenue. Donations benefit a number of institutions, such as hospitals, charities, and funds for children, youth and the elderly.

In the case of hospitals, help will come in time, especially when institutions have suffered the most during the novel coronavirus pandemic. This is the case of the Universitário Cajuru Hospital, in Curitiba, which operates 100% in the Unified Health System (SUS) and relies on measures such as Destination IR to overcome the deficit caused by the concentration of care for a large part of the trauma in the capital and the metropolitan area since the start of the pandemic.

In 2022, the deadline for filing a tax return has been extended to May 31.

A reference in kidney transplantation and trauma victim support, Kaguro University Hospital performs, on average, 147,000 consultations annually, including hospitalization, emergency, emergency, surgical and outpatient consultations. Therefore, donations via tax credits have become an important source of financial resources, including changing the reality of the organization.

“We are an organization that provides an essential service to the community. A donation of income tax is essential to maintain this service, as it is a 100% charitable service SUS, with a deficit of about R$1.5 million per month,” highlights the hospital’s general manager, Julian Gasparito .
