    Hi Vinicius, how are you?

    I moved abroad in the middle of 2021 and left my rented house the month after I left. I submitted my final tax return at the beginning of May and, when I consulted e-cac today, it showed that there are pending issues because I didn't declare what I received from the real estate agency. I've always paid the tax since I started receiving it. How should I proceed?

    Hello, good morning.
    I've been out of Brazil for almost 12 months now, working and living abroad (Portugal).

    I have investments in Brazil and I enjoy taxation in Brazil because I don't pay dividends and I don't normally pay % of capital gains within the limit of R$10mil gross per month.
    This year 2022 I declared last year's 2021 investments in Brazil and income tax here in Portugal.

    I have two problems, Brazil and Portugal.
    Portugal:
    -From what I've researched, those with Portuguese tax residency pay tax on dividends and capital interest, and I would be included in this as I have investments in both Brazil and the United States and earn monthly dividends.
    So, my question. Even if I don't bring these dividends to Portugal, do I pay tax to Portugal?

    Brazil:
    -Should I declare my departure from Brazil as soon as I have completed 12 months?
    -As a foreign investor, what does my tax situation look like? Do I pay and declare taxes to Brazil through which I will no longer pay income tax?
    -I consulted my broker, if I change my fiscal address to outside Brazil I will pay an absurd fee just to keep the account in Brazil, and this is in any Brazilian broker (BTG, XP etc).
    So, can I keep my address with the broker in Brazil to avoid this tax but inform the IRS that I'm away?

    Hello Vinícius, thank you for sharing a subject that very few people have mastered.

    My situation is as follows:
    I left Brazil at the beginning of 2018 just to travel, but with no return date. I ended up spending four years outside Brazil and only returned for two months in 2022. The first year I didn't have any income abroad, the second year I did very little volunteering and from 2020 until now I've been working in England. However, since I didn't do my DSDP, I kept investments in fixed-income brokerages, the stock market, etc. Some are for the long term and others are falling, so it wouldn't be the best time to reactivate. I've always declared my investments in Brazil but I don't declare my income abroad (since 2020) and I don't send money from here to Brazil. If possible, I would also keep my tax residence in Brazil to keep my investments, with no intention of taking money from here to Brazil. What would you recommend? Thank you.

    Hello
    My question is this: I've been living in Qatar for years, I've left Brazil permanently, I'm a non-resident but I keep my "normal" resident accounts active in Brazil where I invest in the stock market (shares, FII, IVVB11 and LCA). Even as a non-resident, am I obliged to file an income tax return if my annual income from investments exceeds R$40,000 per year?
