The CSLL rate is increased for financial institutions

02/03/2021

Provisional Measure No. 1,034 / 2021, published in the Official Gazette of March 1, 2021, increased the Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL) rate payable by legal entities in the financial sector, as defined by Supplementary Law No. 105/2001 . The CSLL is intended for the financing of social security (art. 195, I, “c”, CF / 1988), levies on legal or equivalent persons and shares the same rules of calculation and payment associated with the People’s Income Tax Legal (Article 28, Law No. 9,430 / 1996).

The rate that is graduated according to the economic activity of the company was increased by the changes in Law nº 7,689 / 1988, brought in article 1 of MP nº 1,034 / 2021, which start its validity in the “first day of the fourth month following that of its publication ”, that is, July 1, 2021, according to the summary presented in the table below:

Finally, it should be added that the increase in the rates is associated with a tax offsetting measure (art. 14, Complementary Law No. 101/2000) as a result of the waiver of tax revenue realized from the reduction of the rates of the Contribution to the PIS / Pasep and Cofins levied on the sale of gasoline, diesel oil, LPG and aviation kerosene (Decree nº 10.638 / 2021).
