Entrepreneurs excluded from MEI due to debts with the Revenue have until this Wednesday to regularize their situation

Term

The same deadline was stipulated for micro-entrepreneurs who had revenues exceeding R$81 thousand and need to be excluded from the category

More than 373 thousand Individual Microentrepreneurs (MEI) were excluded by the Federal Revenue Service due to debts owed to the National Treasury and the chance to settle the outstanding issues ends this Wednesday, January 31st. Taxpayers who do not complete this process within the deadline will have to wait until January 2025 to make the request and until then they will be excluded from the regime.

Regarding the regularization of the situation and the request for reframing, the professor of the Accounting Sciences course at Estácio, Uanderson Rebula, explains that consultation regarding debts can be made at the “Electronic Tax Domicile of Simples Nacional (DTE-SN)” or through the “e-CAC portal”.

“It is important to be aware, MEIs pending regularization that were notified by the Federal Revenue have been excluded from Simples Nacional since January 1, 2024. With the aim of facilitating the renegotiation of MEI debts, the federal government has released conditions with the possibility of discounts of up to 50% and in up to 60 installments. The rebate will apply to the total value of the debt, according to the option chosen by the taxpayer. To participate, MEI must have debts registered for more than a year in the Union’s active debt. The simulation can be done on the “Regularize Portal”. After renegotiation, the MEI excluded from the simplified taxation regime and wishing to return to the system must request, after paying off the debts, to be reclassified on the Simples Nacional Portal. In the case of those who were excluded from the Simples Nacional due to pending issues, regularization is essential to be able to continue with this tax regime, which brings advantages such as a unified tax and reduced taxes”, he describes.

The professional also highlights that individual microentrepreneurs who had revenues exceeding the ceiling of R$81,000 must update their registration and qualify as MEI so that they do not lose the benefits of Simples Nacional.

“The recommendation is that this non-compliance, for the year 2024, also be carried out by January 31st, with the help of an accountant to support the process”, indicates the Estácio professor.
