INSS: see the new value of your retirement or pension – 01/18/2023 – Market

INSS (National Social Security Institute) retirees and pensioners who earn more than the minimum wage will have their benefits readjusted as of February. The values ​​will be replaced by inflation, but for those who are not exempt, there will be a IR (Income Tax) discount.

Not updated since 2015, the Treasury table increases the Lion’s bite in benefits at the limit of a larger contribution range. Beneficiaries aged up to 64 will feel this difference in their pockets.

At the request of the report, lawyer Wagner da Silva e Souza, partner at Roberto de Carvalho Santos Advogados Associados, calculated the real amount that retirees and pensioners will receive from the INSS this year, based on the current IR table.

Those who receive up to R$ 1,903.99 do not pay the tax and retirees and pensioners who are over 65 years of age have an advantage: regardless of income, the Federal Revenue exempts a portion of R$ 1,903.99 from the benefit from the collection.

According to the specialist’s calculations, a retiree aged up to 64 who received R$ 6,800 last year will pay R$ 110.89 more in Income Tax this year, according to the specialist. The monthly IR discount on the benefit will be R$ 1,111.53.

In another example, a 66-year-old pensioner who received BRL 5,600 last year will have a real increase of BRL 61.89. With the readjustment by INPC, even with the extra installment of exemption, your benefit will have a discount of R$ 270.19 direct at source.

The calculations are valid for everyone who already received retirement or pension until January 2022. Those who started receiving INSS payments in February last year will have their benefit corrected in proportion to the accumulated inflation from the month the benefit started until December.

Income Tax has been higher each year for retirees and workers because the table used to calculate discounts is not updated by the government — the most recent correction is from 2015.

According to calculations by Unafisco Nacional, if there were full correction based on inflationary losses, all taxpayers with taxable income of up to R$ 4,723.77 would be exempt. A lag of 148.10%.

This Tuesday (17), Minister Fernando Haddad (Finance) on a panel about Brazil at the World Economic Forum that the government intends to vote on an Income Tax reform in the second half of this year.

According to Haddad, this would mean “rebalancing the Brazilian tax system to improve income distribution”.

PAY DAY

The payment date depends on the last benefit number, regardless of the digit number. For example, if it was 987,654,321-0, the payment would be on the date established for the number 1. This year, benefits worth one minimum wage ending in 1 will be paid on January 25th.

The benefit is available for withdrawal for approximately 60 days. If the insured does not make the withdrawal within this period, the corresponding amounts will be returned to the INSS.
