In a statement, a spokesperson for the Social Security has confirmed that a new model called ‘Simplification of the Contributory Cycle’ (SCC) will come into force this year. In practice, this means less bureaucracy for companies and a faster and simpler process for reporting salaries and calculating contributions.
The main change is that it will no longer be necessary to send in the Monthly Income Statement (DMR). Instead, Social Security will automatically display the values, and employers only have to confirm or correct this data through the Portal or the Interoperability Services Platform (PSI). And there is an important deadline: if there is no confirmation or correction by the 20th of the following month, the values presented are accepted.”
According to Paula Margarido, Regional Secretary responsible for the Social Security Institute of Madeira (ISSM), “this change aims to reduce administrative tasks and make the process more practical for employers.”
“The new model applies to employers, including self-employed workers who have employees. The implementation will be done gradually from the 1st of January to the 31st of December 2026 and will become mandatory from the 1st of January 2027. Until then, the current system and the SCC will work in parallel.
For Nivalda Gonçalves, President of ISSM, “SCC brings clear advantages, saves time and costs, reinforces digitalisation, automates calculations and improves the speed, accuracy and safety of the process.”
