PIS/Pasep has excellent news for millions of Brazilians

Let’s explain how all this happened and how is the calendar? Check it out below:

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the PIS/Pasep payment for the 2020 base year was postponed to 2021, as the federal government reallocated resources intended for this purpose to combat the disease.

In light of this situation, the calendar has been revised. This means that the salary bonus for the base year 2020 was paid in 2022. Then, the payment of the PIS / Pasep for the base year 2021, which was supposed to be paid in 2022, only began to be paid in February of this year, 2023.

Therefore, according to the sequence of recent events, the salary bonus for those who worked in 2022 will be paid in 2024. However, it is important to stress that the situation can be changed. So far, the federal government has not issued any statement on the settlement of the PIS/Pasep calendar.

Caixa Econômica Federal will pay PIS fees to private sector workers, while Banco do Brasil will make Pasep payments to public employees. Stay tuned for possible updates and official information about the payment schedule.
