Frequently Asked Questions — Accountant in Portugal

Do you speak English?

Yes. Tax and accounting support is available in English for expats, digital nomads and international clients in Portugal, according to the scope agreed in the proposal.

How much does an accountant cost in Portugal?

Fees depend on the type and volume of activity, the accounting regime and the scope of support. Request a proposal tailored to your needs.

Do expats need an accountant in Portugal?

Not every expat is legally required to appoint an accountant. It depends on their activity and accounting regime. A certified accountant can help with Portuguese tax returns, foreign income, VAT and treaty questions where relevant.

Is the NHR tax regime still available in Portugal?

The previous NHR regime was repealed from 1 January 2024 and is generally closed to new applicants. Existing registrations continue, and specific transitional rules may apply to eligible people who became resident in 2024. IFICI is a separate incentive with its own eligibility conditions. We can assess your circumstances; no benefit is automatic.

Can you help me open a company as a foreigner in Portugal?

We can help foreign entrepreneurs with the tax and accounting setup of a new company, including activity registration and relevant filing obligations. Legal incorporation and company statutes must be handled through the official registration services or a qualified provider.

How does your digital accounting service work?

Documents can be exchanged through agreed digital channels, with communication by email, video call or WhatsApp. The accounting deliverables and reporting included are defined in each proposal; the service does not require an advertised physical office.

Do you handle IRS for non-residents with Portuguese income?

Non-residents with Portuguese-source income may have IRS filing obligations in Portugal. We can review the applicable accounting and tax steps, including treaty provisions where relevant.
