Hello Dr. Vinicius. Congratulations on the content of the website, it's very enlightening.
In my case, I left Brazil in August 2014. In 2019 I filed my Final Exit Declaration with the 2016/2015 income tax (I considered that I became a "non-resident" after 1 year living abroad in August/2015).
Just this year I noticed some errors in my tax returns that I would like to rectify if it were still possible. In the 2015/2014 tax return I didn't inform about the current account I opened abroad, and in the 2016/2015 tax return I only informed about the change of address (without informing about a shared account with my mother in Brazil, and the current account abroad). I had no income in 2015.
I also realized that when I changed my address on the DSDP, I provided my 2019 address and not my 2015 address. I lived at the 2019 address from December 2015, but in August 2015 I was at another address.
If I move back to Brazil and/or have to file a tax return in Brazil again, could I have any problems with the IRS because of these mistakes?
In a hypothetical situation, if I could rectify these old declarations that are more than 5 years old. Would it be possible for me to convert the 2015/2014 declaration into a Final Exit Declaration and exclude the 2016/2015 declaration (which was used as a Final Exit Declaration)?
As a note. Both declarations appear on the refund consultation website as processed and "with nothing to pay and nothing to refund".
Thank you very much for your attention,
DanielHello Vinicius! Congratulations on your articles, which are very well written and contain very important information. I would like to know your opinion now that Resolution No. 3,568 of May 29, 2008 has been modified by Resolution No. 4,844, increasing the amount to R$100,000.00 for SISBACEN notification. Do you think this will make life easier for non-residents? Will we have rates that are more in line with reality?
Congratulations on the content, excellent article!
I have a question. I've been a resident of Canada since 2014 and I filed my Final Exit Declaration in 2019 (retroactively for 2016/2015, noting that I became a non-resident in 2015). I recently obtained an opportunity to buy a plot of land in Brazil in installments. The down payment and first installment were paid by my mother (with money from her account), and for the first installment I made a transfer (from the Remitly website) to my mother's account who then paid the boleto.
I intend to open a CDE (probably with Santander) so that I can transfer directly to this account and: make the payment of the boletos, reimburse my mother.
Is there any problem with this procedure? If in the future I return to live in Brazil and have to declare income tax, would I have any problem declaring assets obtained in Brazil while I was not a tax resident in Brazil (and only declared income tax in Canada)?
Dear Dr. Vinícius,
Congratulations on an excellent article. Very clear and practical. You could update it in light of Law No. 14,286/2021 and BCB Resolution No. 277/2022.
I'm preparing a brief opinion on the subject and your article has helped me a lot. If you like, I can share it. Please let me know.
Cheers and success!
Daniel Gudiño
