To fill out the form to determine the tax increaseprepaid affiliates must account for the entirety of their monthly net incomesuch as wages, commissions, overtime, rent collected, interest received on a fixed-term basis or other financial income, invoiced or invoiced in the case of single-tax payers or self-employed workers.

This is how they clarified before a consultation of Clarín at the Superintendence of Health Services determine if franchisees have a net income below 6 Minimum, Vital and Mobile Salary (SMVM) so that the February share increase is 4.91%. If those net incomes are above that cap or limit, the increase is 8.21%.

With these purposes, and also due to the doubts due to the scarce information and the direct affiliations of the employees at the head of the companies) with respect to the overall system (about 3 million regular members and 6 million with their families), a very small percentage could access the lower quota increase in February.

As of yesterday, Monday, 4 days after the registration period closed (which expires on the 20th), only 219,350 affiliates of the prepaid companies have filled out the form to apply the lower 4.91% fee increase instead of the 8, 21%. Those who fail to fill out the affidavit, the February rent increase will be 8.21%.

What is meant by net income in the case of a worker? For example, net salary, including Christmas bonus, overtime, fixed-term interest?Clarin asked.

All income that holders have in the corresponding month that contributes to their ability to pay the fee is included.

What does the single tax payer count as income?

Single-tax holders must consider the income they have had for their business. They should bill everything they charge, and based on their billing for the month, they will determine their income.

And for someone who has a small business, for example, does his income match his sales?

As in the previous case, you must enter the income that you have from your sales. Since increases and checks are monthly income, the income must be determined on a month-to-month basis, with respect to the immediately preceding month. In cases where the income of the immediately preceding month exceeds 6 SMVM, that month will not apply the cap. If your income is reduced the following month, you can apply the limit again.

Is the declaration of net income lower than 6 Minimum, Vital and Mobile Salaries considered the income of the owner or of the household?

The rules establish that the income of the holders must be considered. Agreedly, in cases of unification of contributions from the same family nucleus, both members are the owners and jointly use the contributions and the contributions that correspond to them, in order to increase the social security component and, therefore, the out-of-pocket expenses the contribution they pay is reduced until the full value of the plan is reached. In such cases, it is appropriate to record both incomes in the notarial deed.

Does the affidavit have to be made by both members?

Both being co-owners of the same affiliation, it will be sufficient for the tax return to be completed by only one of them, contemplating both incomes.

If the deed of notoriety is incorrect, do the Prepaid Medicine Bodies have sanctioning powers?

Entities do not have the power to penalize users, but they do have the right to control and monitor the income declarations, and can claim the sums unduly omitted. Pursuant to art. 9 of Law no. 26.682, companies are authorized to terminate the contract only when the user fails to pay at least three (3) consecutive installments, or when they have falsified the health affidavit compiled at the time of enrollment.
