Tax Considerations for Relocating to Brazil

When planning a move to Brazil, understanding the tax implications is crucial for maintaining financial stability. U.S. citizens and permanent residents, like Carlos, are required to pay taxes on global income, even after relocating. This means any income generated in Brazil may be taxed by both the U.S. and Brazilian governments, potentially leading to double taxation. It is advisable for individuals in similar situations to consult with a tax advisor who specializes in international taxation to navigate these complexities and ensure compliance with both countries' tax laws.
