About Carne-Leão

Understanding the Carne-Leão Regime: A Critical Component for Foreign Residents in Brazil

Carne-Leão, a distinctive aspect of Brazilian tax law, is a crucial element that foreign citizens residing in Brazil must understand and comply with. This term refers to a specific tax regime that is applied to certain types of income received by foreign citizens in Brazil. 

What is Carne-Leão?

Carne-Leão is a mechanism for the monthly collection of individual income tax on earnings that are not subject to withholding tax at source. This typically includes income such as salary earned outside of Brazil, rental income, and other types of gains. Under this regime, the taxpayer is responsible for calculating and paying their income tax due on a monthly basis, based on the earnings of the previous month.

Relevance for Foreign Citizens in Brazil

For foreign residents, the Carne-Leão regime becomes particularly pertinent. Whether you are a digital nomad, a property owner earning rental income, or a professional receiving salary from abroad, understanding how to navigate Carne-Leão is imperative. The regime ensures that income tax is appropriately collected on earnings that might otherwise not be subject to immediate taxation.

Our expertise includes:

• Income Assessment: We assist in identifying which types of income are subject to Carne-Leão tax and provide clear guidance on the tax implications of your earnings in Brazil.
• Tax Calculation and Filing: Our team ensures accurate monthly tax calculations and timely filing, alleviating the burden of navigating the Brazilian tax system.

With Oliveira Lawyers, you gain a partner who not only helps you meet your tax obligations but also empowers you with knowledge and strategies for effective tax management as a foreign resident in Brazil.
