Hello Loafing Along,
so does it mean that the information from the blog post on NHR at tax-free.today is incorrect? Quoting from there: (sorry can't post the exact URL since I haven't published 5 messages on this board yet) Cheers "Portugal is one of the few countries in the world where you can maintain fiscal residence without having to spend a minimum of 6 months there. In other words, you do not really have to live there, you simply have to rent or own a home." I do not know the full detail of the Portuguese Tax office definition of resident.. Maybe owning a property is enough.. |
Re: NHR application without accountant
As far as I understand it, as long as you don't do something that would make it possible for another country to claim that you are tax resident there (e.g. spend more than 6 months there), Portugal itself will still consider you tax-resident under the NHR regime even if you don't spend 183 days in Portugal.
However, this information comes from the web sites I looked at, I still have to find an official Portuguese sources/laws. |

However, this information comes from the web sites I looked at, I still have to find an official Portuguese sources/laws. Para 1 refers to being the country more than 183 days during the calendar year. Para 2 refers to the fact that you may be in the country for less than the 183 days but do have available and maintain a residence base there in such conditions that would make it possible to live in it/ be resident there. |
Re: NHR application without accountant
Thanks for the pointer. And this requirement for residency is indeed pretty much in line with regulations in other (EU) countries, which to my knowledge are more or less the same.

Re: NHR application without accountant
Just to say that I applied for NHR status yesterday afternoon and when I checked my tax account this morning the status had already been granted.

The information given looks very useful,
As regards needing to be able to read Portuguese, would using Google Translate be enough to use the website? |
Re: NHR application without accountant
Hi. I also just applied for NHR at the Portal (only stating the year and last country of residence). Now I logged in and the PDF says "deferido". Does that mean granted, or deferred , so that it is still being looked at?
|
Re: NHR application without accountant
It means deferred, and without another message or request for info it means it is still being looked at, as far as what I gleaned from others on different sites... mine is the same from nearly 2 weeks ago

Not even Google Translate ;) Here, try this : deferido masc. sing. part. pass. de deferir de·fe·rir - Conjugar (latim defero, -ferre, trazer de um lugar para outro mais baixo, trazer, levar, abater) verbo transitivo 1. Despachar favoravelmente. 2. Conceder (o pedido). ( 1)Resolve favourably 2)grant the request) |
Re: NHR application without accountant
Wow! Yes you are right. Because I got that response so soon - less than 48hrs, and it was the first response I got, I assumed the other sources were right! So I, and Barbara, are happily successful.

Never trust Google Translate. |
Re: NHR application without accountant
Does everyone recommend using a specialist accountant/tax advisor to apply for the reduced 20% tax rate? I'm comfortable doing the NHR application myself but not really sure what is required to apply for the 20% tax rate policy and if that is best left to a local expert?
PS: I'm a director of a UK limited company but working from Portugal. Thanks in advance! |
