Currently, app workers such as couriers and drivers are considered workers autonomous, and therefore have no employment relationship with the application companies. For this reason, they do not contribute to the INSS directly, as the INSS is a tax paid by employees and employers.
According to a study published last Wednesday (15), by the Institute of Applied Economic Research (Ipea), only 23% of transport workers by application contribute to the National Institute of Social Security (INSS ). Thus, in the last two quarters of 2021, there were 1.5 million people in the country in this modality. In the third quarter of last year, the number reached 1.7 million. Check out more details!

In regional mapping, the changes are considerable. Check the taxpayer rates according to each region:
Ipea compared the trajectory of the two groups in recent years and indicates that, while the percentage of taxpayers in this category is falling, the percentage of other self-employed workers remains pretty stable. According to a report by Agência Brasil, the reasons why these self-employed workers do not contribute to the INSS are: financial problems, lack of knowledge about social security benefits and distrust of the social security system.
This is because even though they are considered self-employed, these workers have the right to register with the INSS as individual taxpayers and pay their own social security contribution, which varies according to the amount received for the job. This contribution can be important to ensure retirement and other social security benefits.
The discussion about the obligation of application companies to offer or not social security and labor benefits to their employees is still the subject of debate and lawsuits. Some companies already offer some benefits, but the issue is still not completely resolved. Meanwhile, these workers need to contribute on their own to ensure retirement.
