Our law firm provides legal advisory services in the area of Tax Law to companies and individuals with investments in our country or abroad.
This type of advisory service covers tax legislation matters (analysed and framed in light of the specific situation) in the context of disputes opposing the client (taxpayer) to the Tax Authority.
Our work focuses on matters related to most taxes levied in Portugal, namely Personal Income Tax (IRS), Corporate Income Tax (IRC), VAT (IVA), Stamp Duty, property-related taxes (IMI) and excise duties.
In addition, our professionals also provide legal support in matters of tax liability of members of corporate bodies, debt collection, administrative claims, challenges, tax refunds and tax benefits.


Our lawyers handle cases involving tax offences attributed to the client, ensuring the respective representation in judicial or extrajudicial proceedings, filing claims, challenging decisions or taking initiatives to defend the interested party’s position before the tax authorities.


The non-habitual resident status was created with the aim of, through the granting of IRS advantages, attracting qualified professionals who carry out “high value-added or intellectual, industrial or know-how activities, as well as beneficiaries of pensions obtained abroad”.
Once the status is obtained, for which validation by the Portuguese tax authorities is required, the taxpayer acquires the right to be taxed as a non-habitual resident for a period of 10 consecutive years, after which the general rules set out in the IRS Code will apply.
In practical terms, the non-habitual resident status (available since 2009) grants the persons concerned (whose work is carried out in Portugal or abroad) tax benefits in relation to the following types of income:
. Income from employment or self-employment earned in Portugal: arising from the exercise of activities considered to be of high value added, according to the list approved by ordinance of the Minister of Finance.
. Income from employment or self-employment abroad: resulting from high value-added activities, pensions or passive income (rental, investment income or capital gains).
