WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT CAN LOOK
Currently, the annual revenue limit to remain a MEI is R$81,000. In the personnel structure, current legislation authorizes the entrepreneur to hire only 1 employee paid at the minimum wage or the minimum wage for the category.
This frozen ceiling has acted, in practice, for years as a barrier to business growth, forcing many self-employed people to camouflage their income to avoid migrating to Simples Nacional or to fire workers so as not to violate the law.
The proposal sent by the government this Monday (June 29) raises the ceiling in a staggered manner throughout 2026 and 2027 to smooth the economic transition. In addition to billing, the Executive’s project establishes permission to hire up to 2 employees per MEI.
The increase in the MEI revenue ceiling and the permission to hire a second employee are considered by the government as compensation after the approval, in the Chamber, of the which reduces working hours and creates 2 days of paid rest per week.
