Inheriting in Brazil? Avoid this Trap

Don't let two countries tax your estate.

Brazil has zero inheritance tax treaties with the US, UK, or most of Europe. This means your assets could be taxed twice.

48%

The potential combined tax hit on your Brazilian assets without proper planning.

From beachfront condos to company shares, any asset in Brazil is subject to ITCMD tax, reaching up to 8% depending on the state.

Dica

Smart planning: Use international holding companies to minimize tax overlap and protect your heirs.

Is there a foreign tax credit?

Some countries allow it, but it's not automatic. You need specific legal documentation from Brazil.

Every state has different rules. São Paulo charges 4%, while Rio and Santa Catarina can reach 8%.

Secure your international legacy and protect your family's future wealth.
