Good afternoon and congratulations on the article.
I have a question about income tax and I'd like to know if I can ask you. I have an aunt who is Chilean and has lived in Brazil for 10 years, has a permanent visa and is an MEI. I file my income tax return without any problems. However, I have a question that I'd like to know if you can help me with. Last year the Chilean government paid out a pension fund due to the pandemic, an amount that can only be received after retirement. Some people believe that this is a taxable amount, others do not. I don't think it is because there was no capital gain, it's money that originated in Chile at the time she lived and worked there. She is not yet retired. Do you have any legislation that mentions that this amount is not taxable? If you can enlighten me, thank you.
