# What is fiscal representation?

## General information

In Portugal, a Fiscal Representative serves as a liaison between non-resident individuals or companies and the Finanças (the Tax Department) regarding any tax issues concerning a client's property and/or personal taxation matters.

Once a fiscal (or tax) representative is appointed, **they are tasked with relaying any tax-related communications from the Portuguese Tax Authorities to you.**
