Contribution Cycle Simplification (SCC)
Mandatory from 1 January 2027
SCC changes Social Security for every employer. Gestor Minuto already handles it.
Under SCC the monthly remuneration return goes away: Social Security calculates each worker's contributions and the employer confirms, corrects or adds values. In Gestor Minuto this new cycle sits in the same flow as each client's payroll, with the usual rule: nothing is confirmed without a certified accountant's approval.
See SCC in a demoWhat changes with SCC
Social Security calculates
Contributions are calculated from what Social Security already knows: employment contracts, rates, fixed pay, absences such as sickness or parental leave, and hiring incentive reductions.
Confirm by the 20th
The employer confirms the values by the 20th of the following month. With no reply, the calculated values count as accepted.
Pay between the 1st and the 25th
Payment is still monthly, based on the data made available by Social Security, between the 1st and the 25th of the following month.
Variable pay is still reported
Bonuses, commissions, pay rises, allowances and other variable pay are still reported, through Segurança Social Direta or the PSi platform. A representative of several companies, such as an accounting firm, can do it on their behalf.
2026 is the transition year: employers can join at any time, it takes effect the following month and cannot be reversed. On 1 January 2027 every employer is covered.

Frequently asked questions
SCC: what accounting firms ask.
What is Contribution Cycle Simplification (SCC)?
It is Portuguese Social Security's new model for employer contributions. Social Security automatically presents each month's contribution obligation, calculated from what it already knows about each worker: employment contracts, applicable rates, fixed pay, absences such as sickness or parental leave, and hiring incentive reductions. The employer confirms, changes or reports new values and pays.
Is SCC mandatory? From when?
Yes. 2026 is the transition year: employers can join at any time through Segurança Social Direta; it takes effect the following month and cannot be reversed. From 1 January 2027 every employer is covered.
Do employers still file the monthly remuneration return?
No. Under SCC, Social Security calculates pay, contributions and reductions per worker, and the employer confirms the calculated values every month instead of filing the remuneration return (DR).
When are values confirmed and contributions paid?
Values are confirmed by the 20th of the following month. If the employer does not respond, the values calculated by Social Security count as accepted. Payment is made between the 1st and the 25th of the following month, based on the data Social Security provides.
Is variable pay calculated automatically?
No. The automatic calculation only covers fixed pay, paid at the same amount every month. Bonuses, commissions, pay rises, allowances, holiday pay for untaken leave and other variable pay must be reported by the employer through the «Enviar Valores de Remuneração» service. In the initial phase, holiday and Christmas allowances paid in twelfths are also reported every month.
What if a previous month needs correcting?
A month's values can be corrected in the following two months. Up to four months later it is still possible, but it counts as late and may involve interest. After that, only through a special request backed by supporting evidence. To change a single value you only send that value: the latest one reported always prevails.
Can an accounting firm handle SCC for its clients?
Yes. According to Social Security, every SCC feature allows representation, as long as the representation relationship between the company and the representative is set up for that purpose.
How does Gestor Minuto handle SCC?
In Gestor Minuto, each client's contribution cycle sits in the same flow as payroll, with the platform's usual rule: nothing is confirmed or submitted without a certified accountant's approval. In a demo we show the process with sample data.

Explore the platform
Three areas, one place to work.
Choose an area to see what the platform organises and where each person's decision comes in.
Documents
From the document received to the document filed.
Each client's documents arrive in one place. The platform reads them, prepares the proposal and keeps everything in the client's archive.
- IntakeInvoices, receipts and other documents are linked to the right client.
- ProposalsEvery proposed entry arrives with the legal basis behind it.
- ArchiveOnce validated, documents are filed and easy to find.
Obligations
Obligations prepared, waiting for whoever decides.
From validated entries, the platform prepares the client's obligations. Submission is always authorised by a chartered accountant.
- VATCalculation from validated entries and preparation of the periodic return.
- Modelo 22Preparation of the annual return from the year's accounts.
- PayrollPayroll and Social Security obligations in the same flow.
Team
Everyone with their own role.
Whoever prepares is not whoever validates. Profiles separate responsibilities so that every decision has a name.
- Who preparesOperator: handles documents and prepares proposals, without submitting anything.
- Who validatesChartered accountant: reviews, validates and authorises submissions.
- Who administersAdministrator: sets up the firm and decides who can access what.
How it works
Receive. Prepare. Validate.
Three steps where technology does the work and a person decides.
1 · Receive
The document arrives and is read.
The document is linked to the client and ready to handle. No one has to look for it in an inbox.
Platform
2 · Prepare
The platform prepares the proposal.
It proposes the entry and shows the legal basis. A proposal is just that: it is not in the books yet.
Platform and operator
3 · Validate
A chartered accountant decides.
They review the proposal and validate or correct it. Nothing is submitted to the authorities without their express approval.

Security
Designed to protect what the firm keeps.
Principles that are part of the platform's design. The technical detail is on the security page.
Encrypted credentials
Credentials for the authorities' portals are stored encrypted.
Role-based access
Each person sees and does only what their profile allows.
Sensitive actions logged
Whoever reveals a credential, and when, is recorded.
Backups and restore
Regular backups, with restore tested.
Designed for whoever signs off.
Technology proposes. Technical responsibility stays where the law puts it: with the chartered accountant.
