The Reality

Portuguese tax returns as an expat are rarely just numbers in boxes.

NHR and IFICI need specific classifications, foreign income runs through tax treaties, and crypto, pensions, and capital gains each have their own rules. The forms are in Portuguese and the Tax Office does not explain itself.

Send us your documents. We file properly, with every exemption and treaty you are entitled to.

How it works

Three steps to a filed return.

From order to submission. You'll always know where you are and what comes next.

01

Place your order

Pay online and we send you a short questionnaire: income sources, countries, tax regime, personal details. You answer at your own pace.

02

Send your documents

Upload income statements, bank details and any relevant docs. We review everything and follow up if anything's missing or unclear.

03

We file your return

Your tax specialist prepares and submits the declaration to the Portuguese Tax Office. You get a confirmation and a copy of everything filed.
