One question
I'm moving to the Netherlands for work and I intend to keep my tax residence here in Brazil, because I own a property (which will be rented out) and investments (shares and direct treasury). But in principle I don't intend to make any more investments here while I'm away, I just want to keep the existing ones. From what I've read, once you've been away for more than 12 months, you're no longer considered a tax resident, but I'm wondering, if I come back every year on vacation for a few weeks, does that time away start again? Also, from what I understand from your article, I would need to declare income tax in both countries but, due to the non-taxation agreement, there would only be a charge in one of them. In this case, the tax would be levied in the country where the income originated, i.e. income from investments in Brazil (including rent) would be levied in Brazil and income in the Netherlands (salary) would be levied there?
Thank you very much!
