(4.1) Double Taxation Treaty (DTT) Brazil-Belgium

 

(4.1.f) Income from Immovable Property

 

§123. Real Estate, do not matter in which country the property is located, it is something immovable in determined territory, that by its turn is under a specific jurisdiction. The physical territory is a founding pilaster of the sovereignty, considering that the natural frontiers are basilar to the development of the State.

§124. In the case of rural properties, the interesting issue is:

the expression ‘immovable goods’ considers always the accessories, the cattle and the instruments used in the farms and forestry explorations, the right applied to the dispositions of the private law related to the immovable property, the usufruct of immovable properties, as well as the right to the fixed or variable payments by the exploration or concession of mineral deposits, sources and other natural resources” (Article 6, 2, b).
