This study aims to analyze which tax rules would apply to funds received by Brazilian tax residents from trusts incorporated abroad (situation that, according to federal tax legislation, was recently the subject of Inquiry Proceeding COSIT n. 41/2020). For this purpose, this study also aims to review the specific characteristics of this foreign institute and indicate the hypotheses and conditions under which such transfers may occur. Once this concept is discussed (in view of International Law), this study will try to interpret the tax rules applicable to each of the above mentioned circumstances, mainly with regard to Brazilian Income Tax (Imposto de Renda – IR) and Brazilian Estate and Gift Tax (Imposto sobre Transmissão Causa Mortis e Doação – ITCMD).
