Reasons that lead to the cancellation of the MEI CNPJ
Find out below some of the reasons that may result in the cancellation of the individual microentrepreneur registration:

- Earn more than the category limit: the billing limit for this modality is BRL 81,000 per year, which corresponds to a monthly average of BRL 6,750. In this way, those who exceed this amount need to change the company's regime.
- Various links: the individual micro-entrepreneur can only establish a connection with one company, although he has the right to work with a formal contract. Therefore, he cannot have a partnership in any other business.
- Non-permitted activities: there are some types of activity that do not allow the worker to be MEI. The list of authorized occupations is available on the Federal Government website.
