Act Individual Microentrepreneur (MEI) It requires more than autonomy from business itself and fulfill a margin of billing. A survey of Accountingbased on data from the Federalrevealed that more than 570 thousand entrepreneurs were unbeaten of this category between 2023 and 2024.
Given this, experts advise that the microentrepreneur understands the main errors that can lead him to the undramming in order to maintain the regularity of his condition-and even prepare for a possible migration in some cases.
With that in mind, the accounting has listed the main problems to compromise the condition of MEI, being:
Unique opportunity
Legacy Card: Far beyond a service
| 1 – Activity not allowed for MEI Exercising an activity that is not on the MEI list can lead to the unmolding. |
| 2 – Exceed the billing limit Exceeding the limit of R $ 81 thousand per year requires extra tax payment and may lead to the change of regime. |
| 3 – Incorrect hiring of employee MEI may have only one employee. Hire more than this generates non -compliance. |
| 4 – DAS overdue The delay in the payment of the fine, interest and can lead to the exclusion of the MEI. |
| 5-DAS-SIMEI OUT OF THE DEADLINE Failure to deliver the Annual Declaration of Simples Nacional (DASN) may lead to fines and even non -compliance. |
| 6 – Mix personal and company finances Using the same account for personal and business movements compromises financial control. |
| 7 – No cash control Not registering income and expenses makes planning and decision making difficult. |
| 8 – Do not issue invoice The MEI is required to issue invoice when it sells to other companies. |
| 9 – Outdated registration Incorrect or outdated information at CNPJ makes it difficult to access services and credit. |
| 10 – Inventory control lack The absence of control can generate financial losses and imbalance in the business. |
| 11 – Unaware of the CNPJ Not knowing what the CNPJ allows and prohibits can generate tax infractions. |

In the assessment of Diego Dias, vice president of Operations of Contabilizei, the ideal is that the small entrepreneur does not expect the problem to happen, especially with regard to.
“Realizing that the company is thriving, it can anticipate and evaluate with a migration accountant to another category that allows greater revenues, such as microenterprise or,” says Dias.
Of mei for me
Even the second most common error is precisely to exceed the revenue limit. When this occurs, the MEI should inform the fact to and start the unmolding process.

If the exceeded amount is up to 20% (ie up to R $ 97,200), the entrepreneur can follow as MEI by the end of the calendar year. Above that, the non -compliance is immediate.
“The problem is that many only realize when they are already irregular,” warns Dias. In such cases, the tax authorities perform the automatic non -compliance and may generate retroactive charges.
Nevertheless, for accountant Luana Bispo, accounting leader of Agilize Accounting, this change must be seen as an evolution. “Overcoming the ceiling, hiring another employee, or expanding to unable activities is a sign of growth,” he says.

Even so, Luana reinforces the need for planning so that the transition to other categories does not generate extra costs or. “Me, for example, enters Simples Nacional with progressive rates, needs to issue invoice to individuals, maintain structured accounting control and deliver ancillary statements,” he adds.
