Here's my case.
I'm 37 years old and I've never filed a tax return because I've never had an income above the ceiling.
I left Brazil in April 2018, got married in Switzerland in 2019 and am currently living here.
I work and declare my income here.
In Brazil, I've been investing in the stock market since 12/21.
Because up until now my intention had been to make the declaration of definitive departure from the country, so that I would no longer have any obligation to the Brazilian tax authorities.
However, I've read some texts about how people who make this declaration can't open an account in Brazil or have difficulty finding a brokerage firm that opens accounts for non-residents.
So the question would be what to do?
I've read that I should declare in Brazil my income earned here in Switzerland, deducting the percentage of Swiss taxation, but this would be financially unfeasible.
Is there a solution to this?
Thank you very much for your time and education.
