CNAE for Illustrators: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides freelance artists and designers with the specific tax classification needed to operate their creative businesses legally.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is intended for freelance artists and designers. It is designed for self-employed professionals in Brazil who need to organize their professional activities within the national tax system.

🎁What you get

By using this scheme, you receive the correct tax classification for your specific creative work, identified as CNAE 7410-2/99. This classification is a vital part of being a professional because it allows you to issue official invoices to your clients. Having this formal classification helps you maintain professional credibility and ensures your creative business is recognized properly by government bodies.

💰What it costs you

There is no direct fee mentioned for obtaining this specific classification code. However, the process requires you to select the correct code during your MEI registration. You must take the time to identify the right code during this registration step to ensure your business is set up correctly from the start.
