Lei 14.754/2023 changed everything for offshore investments
If you have offshore structures (PICs, trusts, or foreign investment accounts), they're now taxed at 15% annually on an accrual basis β even if you don't distribute profits. Filing saida definitiva is the only way to escape this for non-Brazilian income. This law made the saida much more valuable than before 2024.
Step-by-step: How to file your saida definitiva
What you need to do, in order, with deadlines
Comunicação de SaΓda Definitiva
File within 30 days of departure or by the last day of February of the following year. Done via e-CAC (Receita Federal).
Declaração de SaΓda Definitiva (DSDP)
File by the April deadline following your departure year. This is your final Brazilian tax return β declare all assets, income, and gains up to the departure date.
Notify your bank and broker
Your regular conta corrente becomes a CDE (Conta de Domiciliado no Exterior). Some banks close accounts β open a CDE-compatible account first. B3 broker accounts switch to non-resident status.
Restructure investments
FII distributions change from exempt to 15% withholding. Come-cotas funds may trigger gains on exit. Consider selling and rebuying post-departure for a new cost basis.
Notify income sources
Any Brazilian company paying you must withhold 25% (non-resident rate for employment) or 15% (for investment income). Update your CPF status.
Establish residency in destination
Get your residency in the destination country. Keep entry stamps, rental contracts, and utility bills as proof.

These are simplified estimates based on 2026 Brazilian tax rules. Actual tax impact depends on your specific investment types, holding periods, cost basis, and the tax treaty (if any) between Brazil and your destination country. Always consult a Brazilian tax advisor (contador) before filing your saida definitiva.
