 | | | | | Brazil is the largest country in South America. It is the world´s fifth largest country, in terms of geographical area and population. The Brazilian
economy is the Latin America’s largest and one of the world´s fastest growing major economies.
With a diversified economy, Brazil trades regularly with over a hundred countries.
Its main trade partners are the European Union, Latin America, Asia and the United States of America.
Brazil and Portugal share a common history and speak the same language. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest in
the world.
There are currently several agreements on cooperation and mutual assistance in force between the two countries. The existence of agreements on Social
Security, on facilitation of movement of people, on reciprocal employment of nationals of both countries and on the equality of rights and obligations
between Brazilians and Portuguese, facilitates the attraction and settlement of Brazilian human resources to Portugal.
On tax matters, we emphasize the Convention for the avoidance of double taxation signed in Brasilia on May 16, 2000.It is therefore only natural that
Portugal is the gateway for Brazilian investments in the European Union. Madeira, being part of Portugal, combines all the above with the most
advantageous tax regime in Europe.
The largest Brazilian exporters have been using Madeira companies for trading their products within Europe. This demand has resulted in all sorts of
investors and service providers choosing Madeira to conduct their business in Europe. The fact that Portuguese language is also spoken in Madeira, the
availability of qualified human resources speaking foreign languages, the ease of settlement of Brazilian human resources, good flight connections and
low comparative costs, all contribute in making Madeira the perfect place to establish a company and conduct a business structure.
Such ease in setting up a business in Madeira, benefiting from all the tax advantages –referred to above – including trading with all EU countries
without being subject to any anti-abusive legislation leads us to claim Madeira as a gateway for Brazilian investments in Europe.
We take as an example the structure of a holding company:
