Why become Portugal Tax Resident
After obtaining a Portuguese NIF (tax identification number) with tax representation, you may consider becoming a tax resident in Portugal for various reasons.
Favorable Tax Regime
Double Taxation Avoidance
Wealth Tax Exemption
Access to Tax Incentives
Retirement and Pension Benefits
Residence Permit Options
EU Membership
It is important to note that each individual's circumstances are unique, and it is advisable to consult with a qualified tax professional or legal advisor who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and goals.
What does this have to do with my NIF from AnchorLess
Maybe I'm not concerned
There are specific countries that typically do not require individuals to appoint a tax representative when obtaining a NIF in Portugal. These countries are as follows:
European Union (EU) member states: Residents of EU countries are generally exempt from the obligation of having a tax representative for NIF registration in Portugal.
European Economic Area (EEA) member states: Similarly, residents of EEA countries, which encompass EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, are typically exempt from the requirement of a tax representative for NIF registration.
Switzerland: Individuals who are residents of Switzerland are generally exempt from the obligation of appointing a tax representative when applying for a NIF in Portugal.
If you are from one of this case, we are not your tax representative, so you won't be charge every year for tax representation, but if you move to Portugal you still need to become a Portuguese Tax Resident.
I'm concerned
If you already have a NIF with tax representation from AnchorLess, we are charging you annually for fiscal representation, becoming a tax resident in Portugal may offer you the opportunity to update your tax status and potentially eliminate the need for fiscal representation services, including the associated fees.
