The Special Department of Federal Revenue of Brazil (), most commonly referred to as (RFB), is the Brazilian federal revenue service agency and a secretariat of the Ministry of the Economy. The bureau has the role of administering tax collection and the customs of Brazil. It also controls tax noncompliance, smuggling, piracy and drug trafficking.
Until January 1, 2019, it was subordinated to the Ministry of Finance and, from then on, it became part of the basic structure of the new Ministry of Economy of the Jair Bolsonaro Government.
From January 1, 2023, it was again subordinated to the Ministry of Finance, with the return of the portfolio in the Lula Government.
