Here’s a breakdown of what’s included in our one-time fee:
Obtaining your NIF and Filing Required Paperwork
We’ll handle the entire application process to secure your permanent NIF in Portugal, ensuring all necessary documents are submitted correctly.
Fiscal Representation (Year 1):
Our partner lawyer acts as your official tax representative for the first year. This includes:
Portal das Finanças access:
We’ll obtain your login details for the Portuguese tax authority website (approximately 2-3 weeks after your NIF is issued). This waiting period is set by the Autoridade Tributária and cannot be expedited.
Forwarding communications from the Portuguese Tax Authorities to your email for 1 year
Notification channel activation:
After you receive your login credentials for the Portal das Finanças, we’ll guide you through activating the notification channel. This is important because:
Recent changes in Portugal’s tax law (effective 2022) allow non-EU/EEA residents to manage tax affairs independently through digital notifications.
Once our initial year of representation ends, you’ll be fully set up to receive these electronic notifications directly through the portal. This eliminates the ongoing need for a tax representative if you plan to engage in taxable activities like buying a car or property in the future.
Note for EU/EEA Residents: If you’re a resident of the European Union or European Economic Area (EU/EEA), you don’t necessarily need to activate the notification channel on the Portal das Finanças.
We’ll also provide you with a step-by-step guide on activating the notification channels yourself. This will ensure you can manage your tax affairs in Portugal independently moving forward.
