The Brazilian tax authority introduced changes to the taxation of capital gains earned by non-residents on the disposal of goods and rights located in Brazil. The changes establish a progressive tax rate on capital gains, ranging from 15% for gains up to 5 million Brazilian reals to 22.5% for gains over 30 million reals. The tax is due by the last business day of the month after the gain is ascertained. If disposal occurs over multiple years, gains are aggregated and prior taxes paid are deducted. For gains earned in 2017 and beyond, the progressive rates apply, replacing the previous flat 15% rate. Resident individuals are also taxed on capital gains using progressive rates since 2017.
