Why an independent property tax advisor matters in Portugal
Non-residents need a fiscal representative, must handle IMI and (above €600k) AIMI, and navigate the closed NHR / new IFICI regimes. A specialist sets this up correctly and avoids penalties on missed filings.
How to verify a property tax advisor in Portugal
In Portugal, use a contabilista certificado (certified accountant registered with the OCC) or a tax lawyer with non-resident experience. They can also act as your fiscal representative.
Typical fees
Fiscal representation from ~€150–300/yr; tax returns extra.
The mistake to avoid
Going without a fiscal representative as a non-EU non-resident — it's required, and missing tax correspondence means missed deadlines and fines.

Do I need a fiscal representative in Portugal?
Non-EU non-residents must appoint one to receive tax correspondence. A certified accountant or tax lawyer can act as your representative and handle IMI, AIMI and returns.
Is NHR still available?
No — NHR closed to new applicants and was replaced from 2025 by the much narrower IFICI. A specialist can tell you whether you qualify and model your actual Portuguese tax.
