Good morning Vinicius
My name is Maria Betania. I left Brazil in 1990, at the age of 19, and went to France. I never filed an income tax return in Brazil because I earned very little at the time. Now I'm 51 and self-employed in France. I'd like to buy an apartment in Rio. The payment will be made in cash.
If Proof of Income and the Income Tax Return are necessary documents for the buyer, how should I proceed since I have never made a final exit declaration?
Thank you for your reply.Good evening Vinicios, I left Brazil in 1990 and went to France when I was 19. I worked here in Brazil at the time, for very low wages, so I didn't need to file any tax returns. I never had any income or any kind of assets. I've lived in France for over 30 years, where I've built a family and we pay our taxes. I work there and intend to continue living there. I want to buy an apartment in Rio de Janeiro for cash. Today I found out about this declaration of definitive departure from the country on the internet. I'd never heard anything like it before, neither from Brazilians nor from embassies. I spent all day reading everything I could find on the subject. What should I do to regularize my situation? I read that the retroactive declaration is counted back five years. Will I have to pay taxes in Brazil on what I earned there? When I get the apartment, I intend to rent it out, pay the taxes and do everything necessary to avoid any problems. Where should I start to regularize my situation?
