➢ Contribution of Intervention Development & Economic (CIDE) - 10%
➢ Social Contribution for Public Welfare (COFINS) - 7.6%

and create a total withholding tax charge of approx. 79% or even more.
• Due to the set-up of Von Essen corporate structure there will be no withholding taxes on amount
remitted outside Brazil.
Contract g • Von Essen can hold a direct contract with either the end client or the agency depending on the
Structure requirements of the agency. For introducers/agencies based outside of Brazil, VEC BRZ must
contract with the Brazilian end client for withholding taxes to be reduced to zero. Where this is the
case the introducer/agency would hold a separate side contract with Von Essen for their margin.
Von Essen will also hold a direct contract with the expatriate consultants.
Registration g • To meet with the local requirements of our solution all expatriate consultants will be subcontracted by
VEC SA (Switzerland) and seconded to VEC BRZ, for the duration of their project. They will be registered,
and deregistered on leaving the country, for immigration and taxes in Brazil.
• The relevant visa registration shall be completed at the Federal Police Office within 30 days after arrival
to Brazil. This will be done by VEC BRZ with assistance of our local partner for the immigration services.
• Upon termination of assignment and permanent departure from Brazil, the expatriate consultants must
file an exit income tax return and also obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate. This will be done by VEC BRZ
with assistance of our local partner for the taxation services.
Taxation g • Taxes are levied in Brazil on earnings at the progressive rates from 0% to 27.50%.
• In principle, due to set-up of Von Essen solution the expatriate consultants will become liable for income
tax in Brazil after completing 183 days of actual physical presence (consecutive or not) within any given
period of 12 months; however, Von Essen shall withhold it from day one to protect itself from any tax
liability where one’s assignment might go over 183 days.
• In general, employee and employer both contribute accordingly 11% and 36.80% of the gross salary to
the social security in Brazil. However, due to set-up of Von Essen solution the expatriate consultants will
not contribute to the Brazilian social system, but must provide their own medical insurance as part of
the deal.
Banking g • No local bank account is required for expatriate consultants due to their registration status in Brazil.
Access to Swiss private banking is also available where appropriate.
• VEC BRZ with assistance of our local partner for the immigration services can offer other in-country care
services on request.
