Yes it is tax free, you only pay on distributions. I asked that. If you cant believe because your limiting beliefs from reading KPMG pdfs say prevent you from doing that than you got no hope.@Daal : Please ask him/her the following:
If I open an offshore company in the Bahamas and I'm the only owner and the director also and the company does not have any operations or income outside of Brazil and the company's only source of income is the profit I make by trading financial products then is it still tax-free?
It would be really strange because it would means that there's no tax in Brazil... since the money you make with trading is Brazil sourced income. If it is tax-free then Brazil is better than Monaco or Dubai...
Now, if you mean this Bahamian company would trade brazilian assets then that's illegal. Some people try to pull this trick to save in domestic tax. But if the company trades non-Brazilian assets, than there is no tax. Actually, there is but its "deferred" (until distribution). But you can leave Brazil and not pay it@Daal : Please ask him/her the following:

The CFC rules applies to brazilian COMPANIES with offshore subsidiaries, not natural persons who own or are connected to offshore companies
