How can a lawyer help me?

It is difficult to determine if international sources of income are equivalent to Portuguese income, and paying Portuguese taxes is complicated. 

Our lawyers can assist you in obtaining a clear answer to your specific question so that you understand your tax situation in Portugal with precision.

Our tax team will analyze your situation to estimate your potential tax bill. From here we can explain how to mitigate certain situations and how you can be tax efficient while operating fully within the law. 

Our tax study has been built to enhance your confidence when relocating to or doing business in a new country. 

We are also available to help finalize your annual tax returns and address any questions you may have VAT.

We would schedule a call with you to find out more about your situation and what you are looking to understand.

Your goal may be to reduce your tax burden in Portugal, provide your remote employer with a snapshot of the implications of your move to Portugal, or understand how trusts, foreign income, or LLC partnerships are taxed in the country. 

We would be glad to provide you with a study on what the implications would be, tax-wise, if you were to establish a business in Portugal, as well as what solutions we might suggest or offer.

We will finish your tax study and send it to you within six working days after we have finished collecting all of the necessary information and clarifying any doubts we might have. 

Once the tax study has been completed, we will arrange a follow-up call to discuss it in detail and provide our recommendations for your situation while addressing your questions.

This is reflected as Personal Income Tax.
