Review your remaining period
Check how many years remain, which income categories are affected, whether source-country taxation applies, and what happens when the preferential period ends.
Portugal tax residency has changed
NHR, IFICI and post-NHR planning for Portugal residents.
Portugal’s former Non-Habitual Resident regime remains important for existing beneficiaries and certain transitional cases. New residents now need broader planning across tax residency, pensions, investments, property ownership and succession.

What still matters for Non-Habitual Resident status.
The practical question is no longer simply “can I get NHR?” It is whether an existing, transitional or expiring position has been structured correctly.
Evidence and timing matter
Where transitional access may be relevant, the key issue is usually evidence: residency steps, employment arrangements, property commitments and filing deadlines.
Plan before the tenth year
Pension withdrawals, portfolio income, capital gains, insurance structures and family succession should be reviewed before ordinary tax treatment applies.
Post-NHR Portugal
A wider planning framework for new and existing residents.
Portugal remains attractive, but the planning conversation has moved from a single tax status to coordinated advice across residence, income, assets and family objectives.
- Tax residence: day-count, habitual home, treaty tie-breakers and the date residency begins.
- Pension income: source-country taxation, Portuguese treatment, withdrawal timing and currency exposure.
- Investment income: dividends, interest, funds, bonds, capital gains and reporting obligations.
- IFICI: targeted incentive review for qualifying scientific, academic, innovation and high-value roles where applicable.
- Property and succession: acquisition structure, future sale, inheritance, wills and cross-border family considerations.

Our review process
