This represents an increase of <strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">+8.37 % in one year<\/strong> \u2014 the strongest of the major destinations, and it places Brazil at 20<sup>e<\/sup> world ranking, just behind Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">This growth stems from a specific trend: executives and managers sent to S\u00e3o Paulo, Rio, and the Northeast by French companies for three- to five-year terms.

No agreement covers inheritances or gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Will my Brazilian income be taxed in France?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Essentially, no. Article 22 of the convention provides that income taxable in Brazil is exempt from French tax; France only takes it into account to determine the rate applicable to your other income, which is called the effective rate rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Dividends, interest and royalties are an exception: they are included in the French taxable base and entitle the taxpayer to a tax credit corresponding to the Brazilian tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Is the deferral of payment of the exit tax automatic for Brazil?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">No. The deferment by right requires a State of the European Economic Area, or a State linked to France both by a convention on administrative assistance against tax fraud and evasion and by a convention on mutual assistance in matters of recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Brazil meets the first condition but not the second: Annex BOI-ANNX-000508, updated on October 8, 2025, does not recognize any clause providing assistance with tax recovery. Therefore, a deferment must be requested with a tax representative and guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">What happens to my estate if I die during my stay in Brazil?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">In the absence of a treaty, two systems apply in parallel. France taxes according to article 750 ter of the general tax code: assets located in France, all assets if you were domiciled there, and all assets received by an heir domiciled in France for at least six of the last ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Brazil applies the ITCMD, a state inheritance tax, to assets located within its territory. There is no guarantee that one tax will offset the other; therefore, a mapping of assets and the residence of each heir must be established before departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">What withholdings apply to my dividends and interest?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">The convention caps the withholding tax at 15 % on dividends (article 10) and at 15 % on interest (article 11), the latter rate being reduced to 10 % for certain medium-term loans and credits and interest on public loans being exempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">These limits do not apply automatically: they assume that your tax residence is established and justified to the payer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Will I pay CSG on my French income?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Yes, at the full rate of 17.2% (%) on your French-source rental income and capital gains. The partial exemption applies only to those affiliated with a scheme in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">This is the point most often overlooked in rental yield simulations done before departure: on a rented property, it weighs more heavily than income tax itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"border:0;border-top:1px solid #26323a;margin:46px 0\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:34px;line-height:1.2;margin:56px 0 16px;font-weight:700\">In summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">Brazil combines an old and favorable convention on income with two gaps: nothing on inheritances, and a deferral of exit tax that is requested instead of obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">This is the most exposed of the four destinations we investigated this week. Both issues are addressed before departure; afterwards, most doors have closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\"><strong style=\"color:#ffffff\">Firm&#039;s fees: \u20ac500 including VAT per hour.<\/strong> Annual follow-up is offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#ffffff;font-size:22px;line-height:1.3;margin:34px 0 10px;font-weight:700\">Let&#039;s review your situation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#c3d2db;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 18px\">A thirty-minute consultation is all it takes to calculate your exposure to exit tax and assess your inheritance risk.
