Protecting the professional standing of UK fiduciaries through rigorous Brazilian regulatory alignment and forensic reporting.
When a UK trust or legal practice facilitates a Brazilian transaction, the primary concern is the integrity of the regulatory trail. We provide the localised infrastructure to ensure that every BRL is accounted for, every tax liability is pre-empted, and every filing is indexed to London compliance standards.
Cross-Border Tax Logic: Navigating the 15% offshore tax regime (Law 14.754/2023) and the 2026 VAT transition.
Forensic KYC & UBO: We verify the “Ultimate Beneficial Owner” and source of funds to satisfy both Brazilian and UK AML (Anti-Money Laundering) requirements.
Central Bank Precision: Management of the SCE-IED (Foreign Direct Investment) registration to ensure capital can be legally repatriated in the future.
1. Foreign Capital Registration (BACEN) We manage the RDE-IED (Electronic Declaratory Registration) for all capital inflows. This is the “birth certificate” of the investment, mandatory for future dividends or capital returns.
2. Tax Identification (CPF/CNPJ) We serve as the legal representative for foreign individuals and entities, managing the issuance of tax IDs while ensuring all annual re-registration requirements are met.
3. Estate & Succession Harmonisation Brazilian law has exclusive jurisdiction over local real estate. We structure “Succession-Ready” holdings to prevent the multi-year delays typical of international probate, ensuring assets transition smoothly under your firm’s global strategy.
The 2026 Brazilian fiscal landscape is evolving. Our partnership includes proactive monitoring of:
ITCMD (Inheritance Tax) Caps: Strategic planning for the state-level tax shifts on asset transfers.
The 2026 VAT Transition: How the new IBS/CBS taxes affect rental yields and commercial holdings.
Alphanumeric CNPJ Updates: Managing the transition to the new corporate identification format starting July 2026.
I provide the technical due diligence that allows your firm to advise with total confidence.
