Social Security

About

Provided by Pinheiro Neto Advogados

Social security contributions are the main source of funds for the Brazilian General Social Security System, however, they mean a significant tax burden for companies. 

The Brazilian social security taxation has its own regulations and private pension plans are subject to harsh regulation by specific bodies. 

Operating in such a complex and challenging scenario requires expertise and multidisciplinary approach. 

To assist our clients in issues involving private pension plans, reduction of social charges, and recovery of social security credits, we count on a dedicated and highly specialized team, capable of working on advisory and litigation matters.

Our lawyers also provide advice in social security audits and mergers and acquisitions.
