If you lives outside of Portugal or an EU/EEA country

Individuals residing outside of Portugal or the EU/EEA, who have tax liabilities in Portugal, must appoint a fiscal representative within the country.

If you lives in Portugal or in an EU/EEA country

Individuals living in Portugal or any EU/EEA country are not required to have a fiscal representative, as the Portuguese Tax Authorities can dispatch notices directly to their home address.

However, the Finanças reserve the right to appoint a fiscal representative on your behalf if there is doubt regarding the proper receipt of correspondence.

Should you decide to move to Portugal, you have the option to discontinue your fiscal representative upon establishing tax residency in Portugal.
