#177: No Place to Hide: Brazil's New Crypto Tax Regime with Thiago Barbosa

Thiago Barbosa, partner at Salles Nogueira Advogados, joins host Aaron Stanley to break down the complex and rapidly evolving landscape of crypto asset taxation and regulation in Brazil. The discussion centers on the latest major developments from the Central Bank, which is introducing stricter requirements for Virtual Asset Service Providers, and the new Receita Federal reporting mechanism called "Decripto". Barbosa explains how these changes create an increasingly tight compliance net, particularly for retail investors who've historically operated in gray areas. He emphasizes that the IRS is investing heavily in surveillance technology to identify discrepancies between reported income and actual lifestyle spending, warning that the window for undeclared crypto wealth is rapidly closing as Brazil integrates into the global tax reporting infrastructure.You can connect with Thiago on Linkedin and Instagram------------------------------------------------------------------Brazil Crypto Report is presented by AveniaIf you're building a wallet, a crypto consumer app, or a global payment platform, Avenia is your bridge to Latin America.
