Not all tax work is the same. Every engagement is scoped after a first conversation, and we confirm the fee in writing before any work starts. Advisory and optimization work involves deeper analysis and planning, so it is scoped and priced separately.
The first conversation is about understanding your situation and whether we’re the right fit.
We’ll ask questions, clarify priorities, and outline what support would realistically look like.
It’s not about solving everything on the call. It’s about setting things up properly.
After the call, we’ll follow up with a clear proposal if it makes sense to work together.
Sometimes that means straightforward ongoing support, like handling your tax returns.
Other times, it means a broader structure and we’ll explain that honestly.
If you live outside the EU or EEA and have tax obligations in Portugal (rental income, a company, or property), you must appoint a fiscal representative or sign up for the tax authority's electronic notifications; if you are self-employed, you need a representative before you start. For EU and EEA residents it is optional. We act as your representative and make sure nothing gets missed.
Rental income from housing is taxed at an autonomous rate of 25% (CIRS art. 72), or 10% where the rent is up to €2,300 a month (a rate set in the Estatuto dos Benefícios Fiscais, for income up to 31 December 2029). Other rentals, such as commercial leases, are taxed at 28%. There are deductions available for maintenance and property expenses, and the structure matters.
The standard corporate tax rate (IRC) is 19% for tax periods starting in 2026. Small and medium enterprises and Small Mid Caps pay 15% on the first €50,000 of taxable profit. Municipal and state surcharges may apply depending on total profit.
Non-residents are only taxed on Portuguese-source income, which can significantly reduce your overall tax burden. It also simplifies your obligations in Portugal, but if you live outside the EU or EEA, you may need a fiscal representative in place.

The original NHR closed to new applicants on 1 January 2024. It’s been replaced by IFICI (also called NHR 2.0), which offers a flat 20% tax rate for qualified professionals in Portugal. If you already have NHR status, your benefits continue until your 10-year period ends.
The IRS filing period in Portugal runs from April 1 to June 30 each year. This covers the previous year’s income, and any tax due must be paid by August 31. Companies file the corporate tax return (Modelo 22) by the last day of May, or the next working day when it falls on a weekend. Late submissions result in fines starting at €25 and increasing with delay.
IFICI is Portugal’s new tax incentive for qualified professionals, replacing NHR from January 2024. It offers a flat 20% rate on income from qualifying work in Portugal and exemptions on most foreign income for 10 years, but it’s limited to specific sectors like tech, science, healthcare, and startups.
