Individual Micro-entrepreneur: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how freelance researchers and consultants can use this scheme to register their business and simplify their tax obligations in Brazil.
This scheme allows freelance researchers and consultants to formalize their professional activities through a simplified business registration.
Who it's for
This is designed for individuals working as freelance researchers or consultants who need to formalize their professional status.
What you get
By registering, you receive an official business identification number (CNPJ). This status also grants you access to a simplified tax regime, making it easier to manage your professional obligations.
What it costs you
While the registration process itself is straightforward, you are required to pay a small monthly fee, known as the DAS, to maintain your status.
The catch to know
The most important thing to monitor is your total earnings. Many researchers find that their professional income eventually exceeds the maximum revenue limit allowed under this specific category, which would require you to change your tax status.
How to apply
- Prepare your personal identification documents.
- Access the official government entrepreneur portal.
- Complete the registration steps to receive your business ID.
- Set up your monthly tax payments.
