Good afternoon, Dr. Tersi,
This website really has excellent content and explanations about living in another country! Thank you for the information.
I've lived in the US for over 20 years, I'm an American citizen and I've never worked in Brazil, so I didn't file a tax return. In 2012, when my father died, I started to file a tax return because of the inventory. At the time, I did my income tax with an accounting firm and asked if, because I didn't live in Brazil, I would have to file a different return. They told me that the deadline for declaring permanent departure had passed, so there was nothing to do, and they prepared the declaration as a normal resident of Brazil. The following year I asked again and they said the same thing. Since then I've been declaring as a resident and the only income I have is from renting the property I inherited from my father.
This year, I discovered that I should have updated my CPF to non-resident and not filed any income tax returns in Brazil, but only paid 15% tax on the rents at source.
What should I do? Is it possible to rectify these declarations? What about the income I earned abroad during those years?
Thank you in advance.Hello, I was an expat in the USA and returned to Brazil in June last year. Now in March 2022 I received a bonus amount in USD, in my American bank account, referring to the year 2021. I understand that I have to declare and pay tax on this amount via carne leão, correct?
My question is about the taxes withheld at source and already paid in the USA. Can I deduct these taxes from my tax return when calculating the tax to be paid in the month following receipt of this income from abroad? (I couldn't find a double taxation agreement between the USA and Brazil)
Thank youGood afternoon, Vinícius. My sister left Brazil in 2003 and went to work in the USA. She hasn't made a definitive declaration of departure from Brazil to date and only comes to Brazil to visit her family.
The only asset she has is a plot of land in Brazil and she wants to sell it. Since that's all she has, she wouldn't pay income tax. In the US, she earns very little. Every year she receives a tax refund there.
In that case, can she declare her departure now? She hasn't declared income tax here since she left Brazil. Does she run the risk of filing the declaration now and having to pay tax on the money she received there, even though it's enough to get by without any luxuries or anything?
I'd really appreciate it if you could reply.
