The Finance and Taxation Commission of the Chamber of Deputies approved a bill that temporarily extends the validity period of micro and small debt clearance certificates companies during the state of emergency in public health resulting from the pandemic of Covid-19.
According to the text, negative certificates will have their validity extended by 90 days in the period between the publication of the future complementary law and up to 12 months after the end of the emergency state. The state of emergency was recognized by an ordinance of the Ministry of Health in February 2020 and ran until May 2022.
The rapporteur, deputy Luis Miranda (Republicanos-DF)recommended the approval of the Commission for Economic Development, Industry, Commerce and Services to replace the Complementary Law Project (PLP) 115/21, by Deputy Mario Heringer (PDT-MG)🇧🇷
Miranda said that the project focuses on the business segment most affected by the pandemic. “The most affected companies were the smaller ones, which had less available resources to support the fluctuations in billing resulting from the measures”, he commented.
Procedure
The proposal will still be analyzed by the Constitution, Justice and Citizenship Commission (CCJ). It will then proceed to the House Plenary.
