Perspectives on a UK-Brazil double tax convention

On September 6th, 2022, a joint declaration by the Brazilian and the British governments announced the beginning of negotiations towards a bilateral agreement on the taxation of cross-border income, providing relief from double taxation, and preventing tax avoidance and evasion.

Expressly pointing out that such convention “has been a consistent ask of businesses in both the UK and Brazil”, the joint declaration also acknowledges that its signature “will have an important role to play in increasing cross-border trade and investment, providing long term certainty and stability to business, and in enhancing bilateral relationship”.
