HIRING AND PROCURING IN BRAZIL
Professional Hiring in Brazil
In Brazil, professionals can only be directly hired by registered local companies. However, Brazilian professionals can also be hired abroad by foreign companies to work remotely from Brazil. This arrangement is fully legal, but the professional must declare their foreign earnings in their local tax returns, where it will be taxed in the same way as Brazilian income.
If a professional fails to declare these foreign earnings, taxation can be temporarily avoided. However, this approach limits the use of these funds for visible investments, such as real estate or vehicle purchases, due to the lack of an identifiable legal source for the income.
As a local company with offices in both Brazil and the USA, we can hire professionals in compliance with Brazilian labor laws. This arrangement offers more favorable taxation and includes benefits (like corporate health insurance) that they wouldn’t typically access as individual contractors.
Procurement Support in Brazil
In Brazil, many purchases, especially travel-related expenses like hotel accommodations, airline tickets, and restaurant bills, can be easily made with a credit card, as well as many retail items. However, for goods and services that require invoicing, such as business equipment and supplies, the procurement process can be complex and bureaucratic for foreign companies.
As a local entity, we simplify these transactions for your company’s operations in Brazil. We can handle procurement and ensure compliance with local regulations, providing seamless reimbursement from abroad by your company.
