The Chamber of Deputies approved this Thursday (9) a bill that cancels the fines imposed on companies for late delivery to the Internal Revenue Service of the Payment Guide for the Guarantee Fund for Employment and Social Security Information (GFIP ). The matter will be sent to presidential approval.

The text that will go to sanction cancels all tax debts of this type until the publication of the future law, regardless of whether or not they are constituted or registered in active debt.

The deputies approved a Senate substitute, authored by deputy Laercio Oliveira (PP-SE) , to the text of the Chamber, approved in 2018, following the favorable opinion of the rapporteur, deputy Lucas Vergilio (Solidariedade-GO) .

The measure will be applied only in cases where there was no obligation to pay the FGTS. The requirement to deliver this type of guide is provided for in two norms: the FGTS Law and the Organic Law of Social Security. The latter provides for a fine for not presenting the document.

The version initially approved by the Chamber of Deputies restricted the amnesty and cancellation of fines to the period from 2009 to 2013.
