The 2019 Brazil Tax Conference will discuss the most recent developments in Brazilian tax law, both from a domestic and international tax law perspective. The conference will also include a comparative law analysis for selected jurisdictions. Outstanding tax practitioners and scholars will explore the key issues to succeed in a tax transparent world structuring cross border tax-compliant planning.

During the morning, the focus will be on the recent developments in both domestic and international Brazilian tax law. On one hand, the latest trends on local taxes such as gift tax, wealth tax, the possible new taxation on dividends, CFC rules, black and grey lists will be covered. Further, the recent developments in Brazilian international tax law will be addressed, covering the implementation of BEPS in Brazil, Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) and Common Reporting Standards (CRS) and Country by Country Reporting. Later on, practical issues involving investments between Brazil and India will be addressed through a workshop aimed at discussing tax-compliant planning alternatives for Brazilian corporations and individuals from an inbound and outbound perspective. After the morning coffee break, the Conference will introduce Tax Residence and Citizenship Programs available for Brazilian high net worth individuals and the advantages and disadvantages to relocate to a different jurisdiction for wealth and tax reasons. The last panel of the morning will focus on Privacy and Wealth Preservation in a Regulated World.

During the afternoon, the focus will shift to the impact of the latest Double Tax Conventions (DTC) signed by Brazil with Argentina, Singapore and Switzerland, with the analysis of some practical case studies in both inbound and outbound perspectives. Towards the end of the Conference -and following with the workshop structure presented during the morning-, the presentations will shift to a workshop format. Alike the morning session, these workshops will be aimed at discussing tax-compliant planning alternatives for Brazilian corporations and individuals from an inbound and outbound multijurisdictional perspective, emphasizing on strategies offered by selected jurisdictions such as, USA, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
