What is the Declaration of Brazilian Capital Abroad?
It is the declaration that informs the Brazilian government about all the investments held in banks, real estate or other investments outside the country. This information is important for the government to control the economy and prevent fraud.
The Declaration of Brazilian Capital Abroad (CBE) is 4 times a year, either annually or quarterly, depending on the total amount of investment outside the country:
• One million US dollars (US$ 1,000,000.00), or equivalent in other currencies, as of December 31 of each base year – CBE Annual.
• One hundred million US dollars (US$ 100,000,000.00), or equivalent in other currencies, as of March 31, June 30, and September 30 of each base year – CBE Quarterly.
Who needs to declare in December?
