If one's sole connection to Portugal is that of owning a house ( used for holidays in retirement ) , and one is not resident in Portugal, is it for certain that one has to appoint a Fiscal Representative now ( being a non EU citizen ) and what is the date by which this must be done ?

Thanks.

This has been covered quite extensively previously on this forum. The answer is yes you do need to appoint a fiscal representative. Back to the bad old days unfortunately.

Has anyone actually appointed a professional finance firm to be their fiscal reps? I've been been quoted EUR 110 + VAT for no property ownership and EUR 220 + VAT for with property ownership. Both figures are the annual costs.

Are these figures reasonable? Can anyone able to beat them?

I could only match that price when I researched before. Luckily managed to find a resident willing to act as my Fiscal Rep.

Not yet mentioned in this thread is that the deadline is now end June 2022.

They have extended the deadline by 12 months so a bit longer to shop around.

Edit. Snap, must have been typing at same time as Richard.

A massive shout out to both Richard and Chislenko - thank you both for the information.

A quick search on the internet concurs with the understanding - the tax minister has done U-turn on his promise and revoked the order to implement originally for this month-end. Wow, a U-turn that I like, for once!

It's a shame though the firm where I got those prices today did NOT mention this, and now I will not part any further cent with them.

Update from HM Govt - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-portugal
leads you to a pdf with full details (and the fact that you may not have an income from your property in PT as a non-resident, but are considered as having an income !!!!)

I don't appear to be able to open the second link Rambling.

Yep, that works, cheers.

You are considered as having an income ? Where did that come from and what are the implications of it ?

Rambling archer

Read the pdf - that is exactly what it says!! What they should have said IMHO is that it may have tax consequences eg IMI, capital gains, putative income on rental ?
