Revenues transfered to the Social Security system - RGPS as compensation for the reduction of payroll related contributions, according to Law 12,715/2012. Social Security Monthly Balance compared to the previous Month Social Security recorded a deficit of R$ 11.8 billion in September 2013, as opposed to a R$ 5.7 billion deficit in August, partially explained by the early partial payment of Christmas bonus to a set of retirees and recipients (Decree 8,064/2013). In September 2013, Social Security recorded a deficit of R$ 11.8 billion, compared to a R$ 5.7 billion deficit in August. This behavior is mainly explained by the following reasons: i) increase of R$ 6.2 billion (20.2%) in Social Security benefits compared to August partially explained by the early partial payment of Christmas bonus to a set of retirees and recipients (Decree 8,064/2013); and ii) rise of R$ million (0.6%) in Social Security net collection in September 2013 compared to the previous month, particularly due to the increase of R$ 40.0 million in Social Security Revenues collected by the Simples Nacional (simplified tax system), and an increase of R$ 17.5 million from social security contributions. There was an additional revenue of R$ million related to the compensation for the reduction of payroll related contributions, according to Law 12,715/2012, which was R$ 72.3 million higher than the one recorded in the previous month. It s worth mentioning that the amount of compensation recorded in September refers to the compensation occurred in May, in accordance to Regulation RFB/MF/INSS/ MPS 2, March 28th,

It corresponds to a step up of R$ 8.4 billion (21.5%) in nominal terms. As a result, the total deficit has reached R$ 47,6 billion in It s worth mentioning that the rural benefits have led a deficit of R$ 54.8 billion and the urban contributions have led a surplus of R$ 7.2 billion in / Graph 11. Conceded Benefits of the General Regime Brazil /2013 Quantity (Million) Average Value (R$) Sep/ Sep/ In the same period, social security net collection increased R$ 22.0 billion (11.5%), due to the growth of 11.6% in overall wages, which impacts contributions on payroll, and due to the collection from the Simples Nacional tax system that increased R$ 2.1 billion (10.7%). It is worth noting that the social security balance has been affected by the recent tax exemptions (Laws /12 and /12 and PM 601/12). The expenditure rose by R$ 30.4 billion (13.1%) compared to the first nine months of This behavior is mainly explained by the following reasons: i) a R$ (8.1%) rise on the average value of paid benefits, as a consequence of minimum wage increase as well as the rise of above-the-ceiling benefits; ii) an increase of 7,9 million (3.5%) on the quantity of paid benefits: 3.2 million concerning retirement due to age, 1.7 million due to contribution time retirement and 1.6 million due to survivor pensions; and 20 iii) an increase of R$ million in judicial remedies related to Social Security benefits.
