Hello Dr. Vinicius! I want to thank you in advance for your goodwill and help!
I have a question! I've been living in Norway since 1990! I was very young (19 years old) when I left there and I didn't know that I had to declare permanent departure from Brazil, nor did I ever declare income tax there! I am a Norwegian citizen, I keep my Brazilian citizenship and I currently live in Portugal! When I went on vacation to Brazil in 2001, I bought my only property there while it was still under construction! But now I'm going to sell it! What will happen? Will the sale be registered with the IRS? Then I don't know what to do to be able to pay this tax on the sale in Brazil, without having lived there for so many years! I've also read on the websites of online remittance banks that it will be difficult or impossible to increase my limit to transfer this sum to my account in Portugal, without a declaration of income in Brazil! But none of my income is generated in Brazil, nor do I have a fiscal address there! What should I do?
