When the worker becomes MEI he starts to have social security and retirement rights, for example. Becoming a MEI is an option for those who do not have a higher education or who do not belong to any category.
The process to become MEI is very simple and without bureaucracy. When becoming MEI, the worker has a CNPJ, is entitled to an employee and the company's annual income cannot exceed R$ 81,000. Another requirement is that you are not a partner of any other company. Retirees can also become MEI, as long as retirement is not due to disability.
Despite all the ease, not everyone can become an individual microentrepreneur. Those under 18, for example, cannot register as MEI. In addition, some regulated professions are also not accepted.
See below who cannot be MEI:
– Administrator
- Attorney
– archivist
- Architect
- Counter
- Dentist
- Developer
– Economist
- Nurse
- Engineer
- Physiotherapist
- Journalist
- Doctor
- Nutritionist
– Orthodontist
- Personal trainer
– Producer
- Programmer
– Psychologist
– Advertising
- Veterinarian
Despite the list, these professionals can request the registration of MEI as long as it is to carry out other activities. That is, as long as it is not in segments of the list of regulated professions.
For example, if you are a journalist and want to open a clothing store, in these cases you can become a MEI without restrictions. That is, it is possible to be MEI as long as the activity is not related to regulated professional training.
Also, stay tuned. Some companies want to hire regulated professionals like MEI to avoid paying taxes. Which might not turn out to be so advantageous.
