The high individual tax rate foreigners face on Brazilian rental income when holding assets directly.
The game changed on January 1, 2026. Law 15,270/2025 introduced new corporate rules. Setting up a holding without knowing these updates can trigger massive, unexpected tax bills.
✘ Mito
Holding Brazilian assets under your personal name as a non-resident.
✓ Verdade
Using a corporate holding structure to legally lower rental taxes to 11%–14%.
Dica
Leverage the Lucro Presumido tax regime. It legally drops tax on property sales to 6% and rental income to roughly 11-14%, turning tax burdens into high-yield corporate assets.
