1 – Revenue

MEI’s annual billing ceiling could go from the current BRL 81,000 to up to BRL 130,000 in 2023. This is because small business owners who earn less than the maximum amounts allowed may qualify as MEI. Monthly, therefore, each individual micro-entrepreneur will be able to earn up to R$ 10,800 per month;

2 – Workers

If the PEC amending the MEI rules is approved, up to two employees may be hired from 2023, and social security obligations related to the Fundo de Garantia por Tempo de Serviços (FGTS) were also added to the changes: the eSocial Collection Document ( DAE) must be collected by the 7th of each month and when there is termination of the contract, obligations must be fulfilled by the 10th;

The Simples Nacional Collection Document (DAS), a bill paid every month by the MEI, will be readjusted. The amount is related to the micro-entrepreneur’s field of activity and is based on the minimum wage plus an increase in the Tax on Operations relating to the Circulation of Goods (ICMS) and Tax on Services (ISS). Entrepreneurs who carry out activities related to Commerce and Services, which have the highest rate, currently pay R$61.
