Show Abstract
The “Simples Nacional” is which gathers the collection of eight taxes in only one tax form. This regime favors and simplifies the tax collection process of the micro and small business. The complementary law Nº155/2016 brought considerable changes to the “Simples Nacional” and the adoption of these changes started in the beginning of 2018. Therefore, research aims to demonstrate the main changes in the tax collection process in the “Simples Nacional” after the beginning of validity of the complementary law Nº155/2016. This study was classified as bibliographic, descriptive, exploratory, quantitative and applied. The research carried out a simulation to allow the visualization of the results that occurred for the companies that fall into the first, second, third, fourth and fifth strands of Complementary Law nº 155/2016, and in the first, second, fourth, fifth and eighth strands of Complementary Law nº123/2006. The results shows that the changes adopted in 2018 brought benefits to some firms by reducing the tax burden, but for other companies, it raised the costs. It should be empathized that these results have been simulated and the actual ones may be different in a real situation. Thus, the research shows how important and necessary is the tax planning and the monitoring of the effects of these changes in the legislations, also it empathizes the importance of using the services of professional accountants for the better interpretation of the laws and the effects caused to the companies.
