Tax Residency for Digital Nomads: how it works in Brazil — first-hand

Short answer
You become a Brazilian tax resident liable for worldwide income if you spend more than 183 days in the country within a 12-month period or upon the start date of a digital nomad visa. If you qualify as a resident in both Brazil and Russia, the Double Taxation Avoidance Convention uses the 'center of vital interests' to determine your single tax residency.

Brazil's tax residency rules are crucial for digital nomads.
Generally, if you spend more than 183 days in Brazil within a 12-month period, you are considered a tax resident. This means you become liable for Brazilian taxes on your worldwide income. Obtaining a temporary visa (e.g., for digital nomads) can also establish tax residency from the visa's start date. It's essential to understand these implications and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with Brazilian tax laws regarding income earned remotely.

Tax residency in Brazil is not strictly determined by the 183-day rule for foreigners; it is a complex status.
Russia and Brazil have a Double Taxation Avoidance Convention. If an individual qualifies as a tax resident in both countries under their domestic laws, the Convention acts as a mechanism to determine a single country of residence based on the 'center of vital interests'. Losing tax residency in Russia requires formal procedure; it is not automatic just by leaving the country.
