An important update regarding eSocial was published to be applied from January of this year.
As of January 2025, the reception of S-1200 events (Remuneration of Workers linked to the General Social Security Regime) is temporarily suspended. The reason for this suspension is the need to update the salary ranges that define the insured's social security discount rates (ranging from 7.5% to 14%) and the right to family allowance for the year 2025.
Therefore, since eSocial requires the updated tax rate table to return the S-5001 totalization events to employers, the suspension was necessary. The INSS and Family Salary table is expected to be published after January 10, 2025.
Impacts on TSVE Shutdown and Termination events:
The transmission of events S-2299 (Termination of Employee Without Employment Relationship) will not be blocked. However, if the new ordinance with the rates is published with retroactive effect, employers must rectify the events already transmitted before the closing of the January payroll, considering the correct values.
Simplified Modules (Domestic, Special Insured and MEI):
For the January/2025 payrolls of these modules, submission will be possible after the publication of the ordinance.
