If you live outside of the European Union, you'll need a tax representative

A tax representative in Portugal is a mandatory requirement for non-EU residents who have financial ties or business activities in the country. This representative, who must be resident in Portugal, acts as a liaison between the non-resident individual or business and the Portuguese tax authority. Their role includes ensuring compliance with Portuguese tax laws, handling communications, and managing tax obligations like returns and payments. Non-EU residents starting a business or applying for a NIF (Portuguese tax identification number) typically need a fiscal representative. The cost for such services can vary, but they are crucial for maintaining legal and fiscal compliance. Rauva can assist in obtaining a tax representative, simplifying this aspect for non-EU clients starting a business in Portugal.
