5 Tax Secrets That Could Save You Thousands in Brazil
Brazilian income tax law offers numerous opportunities for legal tax reduction that many taxpayers overlook. Here are some surprising ways to optimize your tax situation.
1.The Hidden Health Deduction Loophole
While most know about deducting doctor visits, few realise that health insurance premiums, orthodontic treatments, and even contact lenses are fully deductible with proper documentation.
2.The Dependent Strategy
Beyond children, parents and grandparents can qualify as dependents if you provide more than 50% of their support, potentially saving thousands in taxes annually.
3.The Education Expense Trick
While there's a cap on education expenses, courses related to your profession can be fully deductible as professional development instead of education expenses.
4.The Pension Contribution Advantage
Strategic use of private pension plans (PGBL) can reduce taxable income now and provide tax advantages during retirement through proper withdrawal planning.
5.The Donation Tax Benefit
Donations to certain cultural and social projects can provide tax deductions of up to 6% of tax due, effectively letting you choose where your tax money goes.
