How do I find a tax representative given that I live outside the EU?
If you live outside the EU and need a tax representative in Portugal, it's crucial to understand their role and the process of appointing one.
A fiscal representative is a Portuguese resident or a company that manages your tax obligations in Portugal. This includes filing tax returns, receiving tax-related communications, and ensuring compliance with tax laws.
As a non-EU resident, if you have financial activities in Portugal (like property ownership or business interests), you are legally required to have a fiscal representative. The selection process involves finding a trustworthy and knowledgeable individual or firm. The representative's fee varies based on the complexity of your tax situation.
