Hello, Vinicius!
First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on your article. You've clearly explained the difference between tax rates for residents and non-residents using tables. Fantastic!
So I haven't been resident in Brazil for almost 20 years and I haven't declared my departure.
I have a few questions:
1- I will be contacting the IRS to regularize my situation. Will I have to pay a fine and tax on foreign assets/salary from the last 5 years?
2- I read on another website about a progressive reduction rate on the tax charged on renting a property to residents - in the future, I intend to buy an apartment for my own use and rent it out on Airbnb. Will I have to pay exactly 15% of the rent every month (or when the rent is paid) or will I get a reduction on top of that 15%?
3- I will be in Brazil for 12 months and I would like to know if a non-resident status will prevent me from using my digital bank account (opened with the resident status) or other activities that require a CPF?
Thank you in advance!
