The leader of the PT, MP Pedro Uczai (SC), argued that the project that increases the revenue limit for individual micro-entrepreneurs (MEI) should be brought to the Plenary. The text (PLPs 108/21and186/26Establishes progressive adjustment of the annual gross revenue ceiling for eligibility as a MEI. According to the proposal, the ceiling will increase from the current R$ 81,000 to R$ 110,000 in 2027 and R$ 140,000 in 2028.

Uczai stated that another five party leaders also supported the inclusion of the project on this week's agenda. He said he would wait for the position of the rapporteur of the proposal, Deputy Jorge Goetten (Republicanos-SC).
"The MEI is an important and priority issue. An issue that affects millions of Brazilians who want to start a business and prosper. [The vote] is not yet certain, as it depends on the rapporteur's position," said Uczai.
Debt forgiveness
The leader of the PT also stated that, depending on the rapporteur's interpretation, the proposal could incorporate the measures announced today by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva for the sector, with a focus on reducing debt, expanding access to investment resources, increasing the revenue ceiling, and simplifying rules for small businesses.
The main initiative provides for the forgiveness of debts accumulated by micro-entrepreneurs with the federal government. The proposal could benefit approximately 3.6 million micro-entrepreneurs and reach approximately R$ 12.6 billion in accumulated debts.
