Ohh..changes..supposedly the new reforma pensionada allows zero taxation on actual legitimate pensions to a very high value..like $8000 or $9000聽聽a month

But it has to be acreal.pension from a third party legit government聽 or corporation..not a small trust or small corporation where you or family or friends hold shares
