SEFIP 8.40

SEFIP stands for System for Collection of the FGTS and Social Security Employer Contributions, which is a mandatory program for all Brazilian companies that have employees. It is used to inform the government about the amounts collected for social security and the Guarantee Fund for Length of Service (FGTS).

The deadlines for submitting SEFIP are on the 7th of each month or on the last business day before that, if it falls on a weekend or holiday. The payment of the amounts due must also be made by this date.

Yes, microenterprises and small businesses that have employees need to submit SEFIP. However, they can use simplified versions of the program or hire an accounting professional to do it for them.

If SEFIP is not submitted on time, the company may be subject to penalties and interest charges. The government may also suspend any benefits that the company is entitled to receive from social security.

Yes, SEFIP can be modified after submission if there are errors or missing information. However, any changes must be made within two years of the original submission date.

The amounts to be paid are calculated based on the percentage of each employee's salary that must be contributed to social security and FGTS. The rates vary depending on the type of contract and the employee's salary.

The documents required for SEFIP submission are a digital certificate, the company's CNPJ number, the employees' social security numbers, a record of their salaries and hours worked, and information about any changes in their employment status.

The penalty for failing to file or for filing a wrong SEFIP can be up to 20% of the amount due, with a minimum of R$200.00. In addition, interest will be charged at a rate of 1% per month or fraction of a month.
