| IFICI — IRS rate on eligible PT-source income | 20% flat IRS rate on eligible Portugal-source Category A (employment) and Category B (self-employment) income | |
| IFICI — foreign-source income | Foreign-source income is generally IRS-exempt, EXCEPT foreign pensions (Category H), which are taxed normally | |
| IFICI — blacklisted-jurisdiction income | 35% rate on income sourced from blacklisted jurisdictions | |
| IFICI — duration | 10 consecutive years | |
| IFICI — the seven eligible-activity pathways | Eligibility runs through seven statutory activity pathways (EBF Art. 58.º-A n.º 1, al. a–g): (a) higher-education teaching & scientific research; (b) qualified jobs under productive-investment contractual tax benefits; (c) highly-qualified professions in companies that use RFAI (c-i) or export ≥50% of turnover (c-ii); (d) qualified jobs in entities recognised as relevant to the national economy; (e) R&D personnel under SIFIDE II; (f) roles in certified startups; (g) roles for tax residents of the Azores/Madeira. If a role fits none of these, there is no IFICI. | |
| IFICI — competent certifying entity, by pathway | Each pathway is validated by a different competent entity before the tax authority accepts the registration: FCT (research & higher-education teaching, al. a); AICEP (investment-contract jobs, al. b); AT (highly-qualified professions, al. c); AICEP or IAPMEI (relevant-economy roles, al. d); ANI (SIFIDE R&D, al. e); Startup Portugal (certified startups, al. f). There is no submission-only route — every case needs the pathway’s certification or a qualifying company behind it. | |
| IFICI — highly-qualified professions list (al. c) | Highly-qualified professions (Anexo I, Portaria n.º 352/2024/1) are defined by Portuguese Classification of Professions (CPP) codes: 112, 12, 13 (excl. 1349), 21 (excl. 216), 2163.1, 221, 231 and 25. The worker must hold a doctorate, or a bachelor’s/master’s degree plus at least 3 years of professional experience. | |
| IFICI — eligible company activities for the export route (al. c-ii) | For the export route (al. c-ii), the employing company’s main activity must fall under a CAE-Rev.3 code in Anexo II: extractive industries (divisions 05–09), manufacturing (10–33), information & communication (58–63), physical/natural-sciences R&D (group 721), higher education (subclass 85420) and human health (subclasses 86100–86904). | |
| IFICI — the ≥50% export condition (al. c-ii) | For the c-ii route the employing company must export at least 50% of its turnover in the year duties begin or in either of the two preceding years. Intra-EU (intracomunitárias) sales count towards the 50% export threshold. | |
| IFICI — AICEP vs IAPMEI competence (al. d) | For relevant-economy roles (al. d), AICEP is the competent entity where the employing company’s consolidated annual turnover is €75 million or more, or the role sits within a PIN/PII project; otherwise IAPMEI is competent — including newly-formed companies that do not yet have approved accounts. | |
| IFICI — who counts (employment vs services; shareholder vs gerente) | A "posto de trabalho" requires an employment contract; a service-provision (prestação de serviços) contract does not qualify under al. a, b, d, f, g. A mere company shareholder (sócio) is not eligible, but a sócio-gerente of a single-member company qualifies as a member of a governing body (órgão social). | |
| IFICI — registration procedure & timeline | Registration is filed in the Portal das Finanças by 15 January of the year following becoming tax resident. For al. c) roles, the competent entities communicate to AT and the companies confirm by 15 February; AT then publishes each applicant’s status by 31 March. A late registration takes effect only from the year it is filed, for the remaining years of the 10-year period. | |
| IFICI — annual re-validation (not set-and-forget) | The benefit requires the taxpayer to keep earning income from a qualifying Art. 58.º-A activity every year (Art. 58.º-A n.º 3). If the qualifying activity ends the benefit ceases — but taking up another qualifying activity within 6 months preserves the remaining period. Beneficiaries and their employers must retain the supporting documentation for 10 years, and AT may request it. |
