This requirement was mentioned here recently, but now official info can clear up any myths.
Use google translate or bing.

Do NOT depend on google translate or bing as these default to Brazilian Portuguese as these can give imperfect translations of European Portuguese at times.

Note that the quoted information note is not the full story - need to refer to the law:
https://info.portaldasfinancas.gov.p...ges/lgt19.aspx

14 - A obrigatoriedade de designação de representante fiscal ou de adesão à caixa postal eletrónica não é aplicável aos sujeitos passivos que aderiram ao serviço público de notificações eletrónicas associado à morada única digital, com exceção do previsto quanto às pessoas coletivas ou outras entidades legalmente equiparadas que cessem atividade. (Anterior n.º 12 - Redação da Delaração de Retificação n.º 06/2018, de 26 de fevereiro )

Tony,, my interpretation of that is that if you get one of those CTT thingies you don't need a rep, would you agree or am I being too optimistic?

TonyJ1

That is what the law says

Cool, thanks TonyJ1 for clarification.

I know there are a few open threads on this but this appears the most recent.

I have emailed Eurofinesco who kindly replied and they are adamant that yes all Brit non resident property owners will have to appoint one.

They would say that and then most likely offer their services 🤔

That, or they might actually have the correct interpretation of Article 19.

The obligation to designate a tax representative or to join the electronic mailbox is not applicable to taxable persons who have joined the public service of electronic notifications associated with the unique digital address, except as provided for legal persons or other legally equivalent entities that cease activity . (Previous No. 12 - Drafting of Rectification Statement No. 06/2018, of February 26)

I'd say they're just touting for business.

Who would have thought it 😂
