Africa-Press – Angola. Public and private companies, in Cunene, owe 594 million kwanzas to the National Social Security Institute (INSS).
The accumulated debt in the period between five and 10 years tends to increase, according to the head of the INSS in Cunene, Luís Salvador, referring that the accumulated debt in the period of 10 to five years.
The group of debtors is made up of 948 institutions, including small, medium and large companies, some of which are now extinct.
According to the official, many companies register, but do not make contributions from beneficiaries.
He clarified that workers are discounted with some regularity, but companies do not do their part, that is, they do not deposit the amounts in question, a behavior that contributes to the increase in debt and penalization of employees enrolled at the time of reforms.
In view of the situation, the INSS is working on notifying debtors to negotiate debt collection in order to encourage and sensitize taxpayers who do not have their situation regularized to do so.
Debtors thus have the possibility, by means of an agreement or voluntary payment, to make payments without constraints, even before carrying out the coercive collection.
He added that after receiving the notification, the company has three options, the first being to assume the debt and pay in full, the second to accept and request an installment payment agreement and the last may not agree with it.
The INSS currently controls 1,944 pensioners, of whom 946 have completed proof of life, up to June, having also settled the payment of their pensions.
During the period in question, 160 pensioners who had been suspended from the system for non-compliance with the proof of life were reactivated.
Of that number, only 50 saw their refund being made.
Still according to INSS data, 91 inspection processes are underway to assess the debt.
The National Social Security Institute (INSS) controls 3,784 public and private companies, with a total of 36,537 workers.
In Cunene, the INSS controls two public service agencies, one in Ondjiva, Cuanhama, Cuvelai and Namacunde and another in Xangongo that covers pensioners from Ombadja, Cahama and Curoca.
