Service · Brazil Tax Exit

You left Brazil.
To the Receita, you still live there.

Without the tax exit, Brazil keeps taxing your worldwide income.

What happens to those who don't cut ties

The fiscal ghostpays twice.

Not reporting, reporting wrong or being poorly advised is expensive: in penalties, in tax paid needlessly and in frozen assets. These are the four endings that most often reach our desk:

The Receita keeps waiting

Without the cut, you stay a resident: a DIRPF every year, carnê-leão on what you earn abroad, and every unfiled return adds penalties and audit exposure.

Taxed on both sides

A resident pays up to 27.5% on worldwide income, on top of the tax you already pay in the country where you live. That's the price of not formalizing.

The account that gives you away

Operating a resident account while living abroad is an irregularity; when the bank notices, come the freeze, the closure and a question you'd rather not answer.

“They told me I didn't need to”

The poorly advised person errs twice: leaves without reporting, or leaves when they shouldn't and watches their pension start being withheld at 25% at source. That's exactly what the screening is for.

The two documents, the two clocks

One notice now.One declaration the following year.

The tax exit isn't a single paper: it's two, with different deadlines. Both are in the same Romper package.

1 · Exit Communication
The notice to the ReceitaIt can be filed from the date of departure, and runs until the last business day of February of the following year. Anyone who left “temporarily” and completed 12 months abroad also has to file it.
This is what changes your statusfrom here on, Brazilian sources start withholding at source, and the rest of the world moves out of reach
2 · Definitive Exit Declaration
Your last DIRPFFiled the following year, within the annual return deadline: in 2026, by May 29. It closes the period in which you were still a resident, now with the exit.
This is what closes the accountRomper's service ends only when it's transmitted: the two filings, one package
Why the destination matters

Brazil taxes your whole world.Paraguay, only Paraguay.

Brazilian tax residency is universal: a resident pays on what they earn anywhere on the planet. The Paraguayan one is territorial: only income that arises inside Paraguay is taxed there; what you earn outside it doesn't count.

That's why the right order is worth money: a well-done tax exit + Paraguayan residency = each income taxed only once, where it arises. No promises, no mystery: they're the rules of the two countries, side by side.

The usual honesty: leaving isn't vanishing. Brazilian-source income stays taxed at source: rent at 15%, work and pension at 25%. What truly changes: the rest of the world moves out of Brazil's reach.

Where Romper says no

The exit isn'tfor everyone.

Some people shouldn't leave right now, and there are requests Romper won't take. If your case is here, the answer is already no:

Vanishing without settling the pastWant the exit to hide what you didn't declare? Romper doesn't build an escape, it builds a clean cut.not accepted
Living on both sidesLiving abroad and faking residency in Brazil: account, address and resident benefits. Fiscal fantasy Romper won't sign.not accepted
A small pension as the only incomeA non-resident is withheld 25% at source; for many people that costs more than staying. The screening runs the numbers and, if it doesn't pay off, the advice is don't leave.the math decides

Hire the Brazil Tax ExitNo charge before the package is confirmed.
Taxes, DARFs and official fees are always the taxpayer's, calculated and disclosed beforehand. Left more than a year ago and never reported? It can be regularized: a case reviewed separately, with its own quote, in the same screening. The calculator indicates; the screening confirms, with no surprises later.

The questions that come before the screening

Direct answers. What depends on your case, the screening answers with the math on the table.

From when can I file the Exit Communication?
From the date of departure onward, until the last business day of February of the following year. Left “temporarily” and completed 12 months abroad? The clock has already started too.
And when do I file the Definitive Exit Declaration?
The year after leaving, within the annual return deadline: in 2026, by May 29. It's your last DIRPF, now with the exit, and it's included in the package.
I left years ago and never reported it. Can it be fixed?
Yes: retroactive regularization, case by case. The sooner, the smaller the bill: each ghost year adds penalties and tax. The screening tells you the size of yours.
Will I lose my CPF?
No. The CPF stays active; you simply start to appear as a non-resident. Whoever told you it “cancels the CPF” advised you wrong.
I have rental income in Brazil. How does that work?
It stays taxable in Brazil, with 15% withholding, and the correct payment, which Romper handles. The exit doesn't erase Brazilian-source income; it takes the rest of the world out of the math.
I receive a pension. Is it worth leaving?
It depends on the math: a non-resident is withheld 25% at source. That's exactly what the screening simulates, and if it doesn't pay off, Romper's advice is not to leave.
Do I have to be moving to Paraguay?
No, the exit is from Brazil, to any destination. If the destination is Paraguay, all the better: there taxation is territorial, and the fit of the two rules is what makes each income taxed only once.
Can I live in Brazil again later?
You can. On your return, you reacquire tax residency and go back to the normal return, with no penalty for having left the right way.
Who handles my process?
Romper leads and is accountable for the service, with a specialist on the Brazilian side dedicated to the tax exit, from the first screening data to the receipt of the last declaration.

The clean cut costs lessthan the limbo.

An online screening tells you whether it pays off, how much it costs and on what date, before you pay anything.
