The Simples Nacional, a special tax regime for individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs), underwent a 7.5% increase in 2025. The increase is directly linked to the adjustment of the minimum wage, which rose to R$ 1,518 at the beginning of the year. As a result, the monthly contributions of MEIs were also updated.

New Values of Simples Nacional for MEIs

The new contribution values have been in effect since February 2025. See how it turned out:

• General MEIs: from R$ 70 to R$ 75.90

• MEIs in the commerce, industry or services sector: up to R$ 81.90

• Truck driver MEIs: from R$ 169 to R$ 182

This monthly contribution is essential to ensure benefits such as retirement through INSS, sickness assistance, maternity salary, and other social security rights.

Why Did the Adjustment Happen?

The value of Simples Nacional is based on the current minimum wage. Since the minimum wage increased at the beginning of 2025, the contributions were also adjusted proportionally. This adjustment follows the policy of valuing the minimum wage and reflects the increase in the cost of living in the country.

How to Keep Your Contribution Up to Date?

Today, Brazil has about 16 million MEIs, but a significant portion delays their payments. In 2024, 40% of MEIs were in default with their contributions.

To avoid fines and keep your CNPJ up to date, it is essential to pay the monthly guide (DAS) on time. If you have accumulated debts, it is possible to negotiate them through the "Regularize" portal of the National Treasury Attorney General's Office.

Conclusion

Keeping Simples Nacional payments up to date ensures social security and avoids problems with the Federal Revenue Service. If you have questions about regularizing your CNPJ, count on Beorange for specialized guidance and uncomplicated accounting management!
