Briefings

The Brazilian Receita Federal automatically cancelled overdue contribution debts for Microempreendedores Individuais (MEIs) with payments due by October 13, 2026, per Law Complementar 238/2026. The cancellation applies to INSS contributions up to August 2026, including interest and fines, but excludes ICMS and ISS. MEIs must continue paying monthly DAS from January to June 2027 to retain benefits. The measure is mandatory for active MEIs; those already registered or in legal proceedings must request cancellation separately. The law takes effect January 1, 2027, and the agency will report the cancelled debts to INSS for pension credit calculation. Uncertainty remains about whether the cancellation extends to past unpaid periods beyond the October 2026 cutoff.

Key points

• Law Complementar 238/2026 mandates automatic cancellation of INSS contribution debts for MEIs with payments due by October 13, 2026, including interest and fines.
• MEIs must pay monthly DAS from January to June 2027 to maintain the benefit; failure to do so results in cancellation of the debt cancellation and reinstatement of collection efforts.

Context

This fiscal measure aims to support microentrepreneurs by waiving overdue contributions, reflecting a broader government stimulus package. The law was enacted to balance fiscal sustainability with economic support, targeting a specific subset of taxpayers while maintaining obligations for other taxes.
