Taxes in Portugal for Expats

Before we begin, we’ll ask a few questions about your situation and needs. Sometimes, we can assist you through a call or chat. If you need personalized advice or have to file a tax return, we’ll connect you with our in-house experts (or partner experts for certain countries). You’ll receive a clear action plan along with a quote before we proceed. The entire process is smooth and digital, eliminating endless emails and paperwork. You just need to fill out a simple questionnaire, and that’s it! If you have any questions, we’re always just a chat, email, or video call away.

Yes, non-residents must file taxes on income earned in Portugal, such as rental income or local employment.
