As a member of the Fiscal Committee at Abemmi from 2018 to 2022, I had the honor of leading the proposal to update IN 208/2002, focusing on modernizing the concept of fiscal residency as outlined in Article 2, among other important aspects that needed attention in light of Brazil’s Migration regulation.

This update was crucial to align the instruction with the 2017 Migration Law, which brought significant changes to Brazil’s global mobility and migration policies.In 2022, I had the privilege of personally presenting this proposal to the Secretaria da Fazenda in Brasília, alongside Abemmi’s leadership. The project was well-received, and the need for updating IN 208/2002 was officially recognized. However, due to ongoing discussions surrounding the tax reform, this initiative has not yet progressed into actual regulatory changes.This experience allowed me to lead complex regulatory initiatives, work closely with industry experts, and advocate for policy adjustments that reflect Brazil’s new realities in global mobility, even as we continue to monitor the impact of upcoming tax reforms.
