Why modify the industrial department as micro Breakpoints
Sunday, August 22nd, 2010
The Ministry of Industry, by Debora Giorgio, modified the breakpoints that allow a company to qualify as micro, small and medium, allowing increasing the number of firms covered in the sector, and thus increases the number of those that can access to programs and tools available.
The definition of micro, small, medium or large business that uses the Ministry is based on the billing, so that any company can calculate whether or not sees comparing their total sales (average of the past three years) with the limit that defines the Ministry of Industry. This limit varies depending on the sector.
Resolution 21/10, published in the Official Gazette, raises new maximum values of total sales that make a company be considered micro, small or medium, provided access to the programs of the SME Secretariat of the Ministry of Industry and to other schemes and financial programs of the State.
As a novelty, the decision of the SEPYME adds two additional steps: the first is that in calculating the level of sales of the company to compare with the official limit is allowed to deduct from the total sales of exports, up to 35% of total sales. Thus, for every $ 100 of sales can be taken from the exports to $ 35.
The second measure provides that once the company shows its quality of Sees to a public program, maintains that status for 24 months, regardless of the actual development of their sales. Both measures aim to encourage exports of Sees, and facilitate access to government programs, allowing also the company to temporarily exceed the revenue limit, as happens when you do extraordinary exportation.
Giorgio explained, “This update enables dynamic and flexible SME business concept, allowing the target population for public policy programs of the Secretariat Sees to spend more time within the universe of assistance. Thus, the growing Sees can still receive our assistance and adapt its organizational structure egg with support from the Ministry, so that when you finally stop being Sees for their billing is ready to be act like a big company. “
The measure expands the universe Sees by supporting nearly 4,000 firms, with existing limits above, and did not qualify as Sees, as Sees Secretary said, Horace Rural.
It is noteworthy that means total annual sales, the value of sales arising from the average of the last three accounting information sheets or equivalent (properly documented), excluding value added tax, the excise tax that might apply and, new, net exports arising from the above balances up 35% of total sales. In the case of companies whose age is less than that required for the calculation established, we consider the average annual sales proportional verified since its launch.
