Re: Non Habitual Resident Scheme
Don't become resident. There's really no need to unless you want to. Depends if you maintain an address of some sort in the UK. If you do - don't bother with residency as it's not a requirement.

Re: Non Habitual Resident Scheme
Do you not have to be resident to apply for the benefits of NHR

Re: Non Habitual Resident Scheme
I came in from South Africa and not the UK. I "officially" emigrated via IRS so my income from SA is as a "Tax non resident" so no tax payable in SA and now here as well.
Due to the tax treaty between SA and PT, PT has the right to tax my income but I now have immunity here.
Thank you Portugal.

And if the rules are changed tomorrow, that will not affect the people who have already been granted 10 years' NHR status.

I think the words you are scrabbling for are "Sorry. I was not only clearly wrong but also obstinate in clinging to my misconceptions. The other contributors on this thread are a lot more knowledgeable than I."
And if the rules are changed tomorrow, that will not affect the people who have already been granted 10 years' NHR status.

I am surprised but there it is,

Re: Non Habitual Resident Scheme
I have no code. NHR was added to my fiscal number. I gave my efiling code to Tony and I think he has filed my returns already. The cut off date is Monday.
No probs on my side.

Re: Non Habitual Resident Scheme
urgent info please from anyone on NHR.
I applied for NHR about 6 weeks ago (same time as Ukram) and was getting a bit anxious as I had not heard anything from Lisbon. Phoned my accountant
this morning who contacted Lisbon only to be told it is being processed for 2015 as I was still working and paying tax in UK up until september of 2014.
We bought our house here and registered with the junta in march 2015.
I was under the impression that you had to apply before the tax year end of the year you moved here. i.e. 2015 for us. My accountant has asked me to get proof of residency in UK for 2014 and says I will be processed as a tourist until we bought our house in march and registered with the junta., also in march 2015.
It all sounds a bit weird to me and we have an appointment to see her tomorrow to check it all out.
I don't want to miss the boat because of dodgy info.
Does my application need to be processed for this year or next?

Re: Non Habitual Resident Scheme
Does anyone know what I can use as proof of residence in UK for 2014?
Would documents from my UK solicitor re sale of my UK house in dec. 2014 suffice?

Re: Non Habitual Resident Scheme
Get a document from HMRC proving that your were residence for the previous 5 years. Might do the trick if your accountant messed up - but no guarantees.
