Expatriation contract : Split salary : part paid in country of origin

Hi jfpetitnivard,

What makes it extremely difficult are two factors, the first being Central Bank rules regarding transfer of funds out of Brazil (extremely bureaucratic) and the second being the most complex set of Tax Laws in the civilized world.

Even if you were able to negotiate such a deal, I highly doubt that it would be to your financial advantage considering the taxes and fees involved with foreign transfers. The fees and taxes would gobble up any possible savings that currency fluctuation (or the lack thereof) would generate, then too you must consider the currency exchange rates. It would also have no affect whatsoever on your tax situation. The taxes would have to be paid on the entire amount here in Brazil, even if you were to attempt to declare the foreign part income in that country you would still have to declare your total World Income and if you cannot prove that taxes were not paid on those funds in your home country they would certainly be taxed here in Brazil.

Thank you wjwoodward.
The purpose of this is not to evade tax, but to keep part of my salary which corresponds to my savings directly in my home country.
Instead of saving in Brazil, and then making the money transfer when I eventually move back after my expatriation : all at once.
With the potential risks that could have if the exchange moves in the wrong direction in the mean time.
