Taxation of Capital Gains Earned by Non-Residents
Normative Instruction of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (“IN RFB”) 1732/17,
published in 29/8/17, introduced changes in IN RFB 1455/14, which previously established
the levy of 15% Withholding Income Tax “(WHT”) on capital gains ascertained by legal
entities domiciled abroad upon the disposal of goods and rights located in Brazil.
IN RFB 1732/17 establishes the levy of Income Tax using progressive rates, which can be
calculated based on the practical table below:
Calculation Basis (BRL) Rate (%) Deductible Share (BRL)
Up to 5,000,000.00 15% -
From 5,000,000.01 up to 10,000,000.00 17,5% 125,000.00
From 10,000,000.01 up to 30,000,000.00 20% 375,000.00
Higher than 30,000,00.01 22,5% 1,125,000.00
IN RFB 1732/17 also provides that:
(i) The tax shall be paid until the last business day of the month following the
capital gain ascertainment;
(ii) In case the disposal occurs in installments and the second transaction occurs
until the end of the calendar year following the first, the capital gains
ascertained as of the second operation shall be added to the gains earned on
the previous transactions, deducting the amount of tax previously paid; and
(iii) The 15% WHT rate previously provided applies for taxable events occurred until
31/12/16, i.e. the progressive rates apply as of 1/1/17.
We remind that the levy of Income Tax using progressive rates on capital gains earned by
Brazilian resident individuals was established by Law 13259/16 and entered into force as
of 1/1/17.
Since the publication of such Law, we understand that the progressive rates apply to capital
gains earned by non-residents, regardless if they are individuals or legal entities, in light of
the article 18 of Law 9249/95 (the capital gain earned by a non-resident shall be calculated
and taxed in accordance with the rules applicable to Brazilian residents) and considering
that the rules applicable to non-residents are those that regulate the taxation of individuals
domiciled in Brazil.
Finally, we point out that if the beneficiary of the gain is tax resident in a jurisdiction with
favorable taxation, a WHT of 25% rate applies, regardless of the amount of capital gain.
