The law firm is in Curitiba and I am in Rio.

I did a lot of research; spoke with several Expats and Ariel Palmeira was my choice.

Thank you for sharing. I'm about to move to Brazil from the USA with my wife. I have dual citizenship. My wife is US citizen and Brazilian resident. Is this lawyer familiar with taxes in both countries - Brazil and USA?

Brazil does not have a totalization agreement with the usa. It also does not have a tax treat with the USA. Go to IRS link below to see all countries with US income tax treaties.  BRAZIL  IS NOT ONE OF THEM. https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues … y/treaties


The information of Taxes in the expat.com page link below iS WRONG.

Brazil does have a Totalization Agreement with the United States.  It regulates collection of Social Security taxes and disbursement of Social Security benefits.  It does not address the subject of income taxes:
