Re: Is the EU getting a new aristocratic class??

It's an interesting hypothesis and very probably not entirely devoid of any merits.

I see this is your first post, so tell us a bit more about yourself if you feel inclined. Where are you from,...

Re: Sold flat in UK, CGT due in Portugal as well as UK?

That would be automatically applied.

The declaration includes year of acquisition as well as value, which is then adjusted to take monetary devaluation during the period of ownership into account.

Re: Sold flat in UK, CGT due in Portugal as well as UK?

That is correct - tax would be levied on 50% of the gain (after taking into account allowable expenditures), which will be combined with all your other income for the year in question. You pay scale...

Re: Cash Payments Giving NIF Details

That would be the most likely outcome, I would say.

EDIT : Just returning to clarify that what I mean by that is that the expense probably doesn't get recorded on the e-fatura portal against your...

Re: Cash Payments Giving NIF Details

If the receipt has your NIF on it, it almost certainly will find its way automatically onto e-faturas but there's often a delay involved.

Businesses have 5 working days after the end of each month...

Whoever told you that was incorrect, except in the circumstance that a PT resident benefits from NHR status.

Re: Mens EU clothes sizes

They use the French system of clothes sizes here, where it's marked as a PT size, if that's any help.

I don't think this is completely correct under the circumstances as I understand them.

Re: Validation of Expenses for Tax Return

The ginasio-fitness benefit has been available since 2021 @ 15% of the IVA paid. IVA is 23% on this.

So if you were paying 34 euros per month every month last year, your total expenditure would...

Interesting stance.

That's about a quarter of your working / contributing years, for which the UK government readily acknowledges your right to that pension.
