Overview

We act as your fiscal representative before the Portuguese Tax Authority (Finanças). This is mandatory for many residents of non-EU/EEA countries (the EEA here including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). It is a genuine legal responsibility in which we are the interface between you and Finanças for notifications and filings. The €590 one-time fee covers the first 12 months. After that, you either switch to electronic tax notifications (we set it up for you) or continue with us at €290/year.

  • Non-EU/EEA residents who are required to appoint a fiscal representative
  • NIF holders who need a representative on record with Finanças
  • Property owners and investors who must stay reachable by the Tax Authority
