UK + Portugal Tax Support

Both countries. Both specialists. One plan.

Moving from the UK to Portugal involves more than changing your address. How you exit the UK tax system and set up in Portugal matters. You'll be supported by both a UK and a Portuguese tax specialist.

The reality

Leaving the UK Doesn't Automatically Mean You Stop Owing HMRC

The UK and Portugal have a double taxation treaty, but applying it correctly is where most people (and most advisors) get it wrong. The timing of your move, your residency status in each country, and the type of income you have all affect how much tax you pay and to whom.

From your exit from the UK tax system to your setup in Portugal, both sides need to be aligned from the start. A Portuguese accountant doesn't know UK tax law. A UK accountant doesn't know Portuguese tax law. You need both working together.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

It depends. If you have UK-sourced income (rental income, some pensions, capital gains on UK property), you likely still need to file a UK Self Assessment. We'll assess your situation during the consultation.

It depends on the type of pension and your tax regime in Portugal. Under IFICI, some pension income may be exempt from Portuguese tax. Under the general regime, it's typically taxable. The UK-Portugal treaty determines which country has primary taxing rights. This is one of the most common questions we handle.

When you leave the UK partway through a tax year, you may be able to split the year so that you're only taxed as a UK resident for the period before you left. Getting this right is critical because it affects how your income is taxed in both countries during the year of your move.

UK rental income is always taxable in the UK. Portugal may also tax it, but the double taxation treaty provides relief to avoid paying twice. The way this is handled in your Portuguese return matters. We coordinate both filings to ensure the treaty is applied correctly.

ISAs are tax-free in the UK but Portugal doesn't recognise the ISA wrapper. Any income or gains from your ISA may be taxable in Portugal depending on your tax regime. We'll explain how this affects you during the consultation.

Voluntary NI contributions can protect your UK state pension entitlement. Whether it makes sense depends on how many qualifying years you have and your long-term plans. We can advise on this.

IFICI can exempt certain foreign income from Portuguese tax, which includes some types of UK income. However, the interaction with the UK-Portugal treaty and UK tax rules means the actual benefit depends on your specific income types and structure. This is exactly what our joint consultation addresses.

SIPPs are treated differently from standard UK pensions under the treaty. How withdrawals are taxed depends on whether they're classified as pension income or lump sums. We cover this in the consultation.
