If you are independent worker and you are not paying your social Security, Be careful, because you could be sanctioned for not complying with these labor regulations.
The Pension and Parafiscal Management Unit (UGPP), According to an expert lawyer from the Free University, A series of sanctions can be imposed if the independent worker presents evasion or evasion in the payment of their contributions to pensions, having the ability to pay.
(See: This is the social security contribution for independents).
The sanctions are enshrined in the article 314 of Law 1819/16, which establishes them depending on the fault. And they also apply to administrators of the Social Protection System that fail to comply.
Here are the penalties you could receive:
– If you do not declare or correct, despite having been requested, 5% of the value not settled and paid for each month or fraction of a month of delay, without exceeding 100% of the value of the contribution to be charged, and without prejudice to any default interest that may apply.
(See: How you can save on severance pay if you’re self-employed).
– The contributor who has been notified of the requirement to declare and/or correct, that corrects the self-assessment of the Parafiscal Social Protection Contributions due to inaccuracy, must liquidate and pay a penalty equivalent to 35% of the difference between the value to be paid and the amount declared promptly.
– The contributors from whom the UGPP requests information and/or evidence, that do not supply it within the established period, or supply it incompletely or inaccurately, will be entitled to a penalty of up to 15,000 UVT, in favor of the national treasury, which will be settled according to the number of months or fraction of a month of breach.
(See: How to join the ARL if you are an independent worker?).
– The administrators of the Social Protection System that fail to comply with the standards that the UGPP established for the collection of Parafiscal Contributions for Social Protection, will be penalized up to two hundred (200) UVT.
It must also be taken into account that the worker who does not comply with these regulations will no longer receive the Health services because it will not be within the contributory regime as independent or in the subsidized regime.
In the event that the employee cannot pay, he must prove it to be a member of Sisbén.
(See: Quality of life and good salaries, what digital talent is most looking for).
It is necessary to highlight that the independent worker must pay social security on 40% of their monthly income, based on the monthly minimum wage. From this value, he must contribute 12.5% for health and 16% for pension.
