The ancient scientific concept that history always repeats itself is true. This situation, unfortunately, is not exclusive to certain facts, but has spread throughout the world and settled once and for all in the minds of the managers who conduct the country's economic policy. Do you remember Provisional Measure 232, issued at the turn of 2004 to 2005? It would increase taxes for several categories, including service providers, but thanks to the struggle of organized civil society it ended up being overturned. Now, the situation repeats itself: in the dead of night on December 29, 2005, the government published MP 275, once again increasing the taxation of micro and small companies included in the Simples Federal.
A study prepared by Sescon-SP — Union of Accounting Services Companies of São Paulo in the first days of this new year proves our arguments. The data leads us to believe that the creation of collection bands, reaching R$2.4 million in annual gross revenue, was Estonia Email List just a façade measure. In reality, the tax authorities inserted higher percentages for the respective tax rates. MP 275 amended Law 9,317/96, which created Simples, expanding the value of the collection bands on gross revenue. The problem is that the rates were not maintained, but increased to ranges above R$1.2 million, the limit value previously in force for small companies.
Therefore, companies with revenues in the last range, that is, R$1.2 million, collected 8.6% and will now pay a rate of 12.6%, which is equivalent to a percentage increase of 46.5. According to the Sescon-SP study, due to the lack of correction of the bands since 1999, only companies with gross revenues of up to R$60 thousand did not have, in 2005, an increase in taxes. The others, up to the R$ 1.2 million range, had an increase ranging between 7.5% and 66.6%. This is nonsense. How can the government raise taxes in a system that was created precisely to relieve micro and small companies? The proposal most compatible with the purposes of Simples is to readjust the revenue ranges of the tax regime, maintaining the rates previously in force, which is expected to be accepted by the National Congress when considering the MP.
