Perdao Dividas Mei
In short
The Prospera MEI programme is a government initiative that cancels federal tax debts for individual micro-entrepreneurs. It specifically targets debts that became overdue by 13 October 2026.
In plain words
Small business owners who owe money to the federal government can have those debts wiped clean. This helps them get back to working legally and avoids heavy penalties. The rules are managed by the Federal Revenue and the PGFN.
A simple example
A freelancer who stopped paying their monthly DAS taxes in 2025 can have those old debts cancelled under the new rules. This allows them to restart their business without the old debt hanging over them.
Why it matters
By clearing these debts, the government aims to bring millions of workers back into the formal economy. This move is expected to increase tax collection by billions of Reais in the long term.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse this with a general debt write-off; it only applies to specific federal tax debts for MEIs, not private loans or bank debts.
