Decree 778/008 of 12/22/2008 Regulates Law 18.083 of 12/27/006 which allowed the differentiation of social security contributions.

Law 18.083 of 12/27/006 modified the tax system, establishing a comprehensive income tax system, introducing, among other changes, the Personal Income Tax. This decree regulated the tax exemption of 50% of the minimum contribution required for family-based companies and rural enterprises registered with the Banco de Previsión Social (BPS). It is a mandatory discount that assures family producers linked to these family enterprises the right to the coverage of health services and the benefits of the public retirement system.
