Is Your Offshore Company Costing You 15%?

Brazil treats your foreign company’s profits as yours on Dec 31 — even if the money stays offshore. No deferral, no exceptions. It’s the law under Lei 12.973/2014.

150%

❝ For many expats and investors, this comes as a shock.

✓ Calculate your foreign profit correctly ✓ File your Brazilian tax return by the deadline ✓ Pay the 15% flat tax annually

✗ I can avoid tax by never bringing profits back to Brazil.
