Questions We Hear All the Time

This guide is built on real conversations with clients who moved to Portugal. Here are just a few of the most common questions we’ve helped answer:

Do I need to pay tax in Portugal if I don’t live there full-time?

That depends on whether Portugal considers you a tax resident. The guide explains how residency is determined - and what that means for your global income.

What is the IFICI regime - and could I benefit from it?

IFICI is the new regime that replaced NHR in 2025. If you’re a qualified professional relocating to Portugal, it could mean a flat 20% tax rate and exemptions on foreign income.

Can I avoid being taxed twice on the same income?

Often, yes. Portugal has double tax treaties with over 70 countries, and in some cases Portugal itself offers a reduction. Expat regimes like IFICI also provide attractive exemptions. The guide shows how to avoid paying tax in two places—and how to make the most of the reliefs that Portugal offers.
