Vinicius, thank you for the text, very well explained. I still have a doubt, because I see that my case seems to be a little more complex. I was transferred from Brazil to Trinidad (a country that has an agreement to avoid double taxation with Brazil) in May 2020. I gave tax leave on the date of the trip initially scheduled, but due to the pandemic, I stayed in Brazil, working remotely, waiting for confirmation of the new date of the move. Since then, I have been working abroad for 28 days and returning to Brazil, where my family is.
Every month I receive my salary in an account in Brazil (I do all the exchange transactions) and I keep my expenses in real (school, condominium, courses, etc.).
How should I proceed? I've already left permanently, I'm considered a tax resident in Trinidad, I have my tax deducted at source abroad and I transfer and spend my salary in real, because I'm still waiting for the new moving date to be determined. Do I have to file my tax return this year? If so, how should I present my salary earnings in this declaration? Thank you!
