PIS, COFINS, and CSLL retention

PIS, Cofins, and CSLL are federal contributions that exist only when your company is classified as Presumed Profit.

  • PIS is an abbreviation for Social Integration Program, a social welfare contribution with the objective of financing, among other social programs, unemployment insurance.
  • Cofins means Contribution to Finance Social Security, a contribution to the Public pension, social assistance and health.
  • CSLL refers to the Social Contribution over the Net Profit, a contribution to support Social Security, which aims to protect citizens on their rights related to health, retirement and unemployment situation.

To define these rates for your company, follow these steps.

  1. Open My Company.
  2. Click the Standard Tax Definition tab.
  3. Change the information in the fields PIS Perception, Cofins Perception, and/or CSLL Perception.
  4. Click Save.

These three perceptions are paid alongside the single Federal Incomes Collection Document – DARF. For this reason, there is only a single field totaling the values in the OnBalance detailed retention calculation window.

Notes

  • These withholdings do not exist if your company is classified in the Tax Schema of MEI or National Simple.
