Companies that join will be deducted from the IR because values of the two extra salaries
Starts on Monday (25) to join the Corporate Citizenship program, which extends maternity leave from four to six months. Companies that join the program may be deducted from the income tax because the values of the two extra wages paid to employees.
To join the program, the company needs access to the website of the Revenue (www.receita.fazenda.gov.br) and register. The employees interested in expanding the license must make the request to the employer within one month after the birth of the baby. The benefit also applies to workers who do adoptions - in this case varies with the age of the adopted child.
In practice, however, the benefit will be small scale, they can shoot IR two months extra salary of only licensed companies that pay the tax by the scheme of profit, that is, a universe of only 150 thousand companies in the country -- most large.
Companies included in the single IR or pay by the presumed profit, usually small and medium-sized, can join the program but will not rebate in income tax.
Maternity leave to six months, according to the IRS, will cost R$ 414.1 million to public coffers in 2010, taking into account the number of companies that can kill the two extra salaries.
The decree that established the Citizen Company was signed by President Lula on December 23, 2009 and published in the Official Gazette on Friday (22). Law 11.770, approved in September 2008, establishes a voluntary extension of maternity benefit to the amounts paid by the company - not by the INSS (National Social Security) as in the four months of maternity leave.
