Working as a freelancer in Brazil

Post new topic

Hi,

A lot of expats dream of becoming self-employed: we would like to help you to make that dream come true.

Can foreigners work as self-employed in Brazil? What are the formalities to work as a freelancer?

What are the pros and cons of this status: social security, tax system, etc.?

How is the freelance market in Brazil?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Kenjee

You mean Income Tax.... wasthat? don't you? Everything else in this blessed country you pay tax through the nose on, except for the air you breathe. I'm sure if they could figure out a way of measuring that, they'd tax it too.  :o

Cheers,
James
