Why Digital Notifications Are Not Always Enough

Portuguese tax law allows non-residents to activate electronic notifications via the Portal das Finanças.
However, some official notices are still sent exclusively by regular mail
to your registered tax address.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends. If you’re a non-resident with a NIF and your tax address is outside Portugal, you are not required to appoint a tax representative if you have activated electronic notifications on the Portal das Finanças.

However, some official tax-related notices are still sent exclusively by regular mail—especially if you own property, earn income, or have other financial activities in Portugal. If your tax address is outside the EU, there is a risk that you won’t receive these letters in time, leading to potential missed deadlines, fines, or legal issues.

💡 A tax representative ensures all official correspondence is received and forwarded to you promptly.

Switching to Novomove is quick and fully online:

1️⃣ Sign Up: Complete our online application.
2️⃣ Document Submission: Provide a clear scan of your passport and both pages of your NIF certificate.
3️⃣ Power of Attorney (PoA): Electronically sign the PoA we provide, authorizing our partner lawyer to act on your behalf.

Once completed, we handle everything with Finanças, including notifying them of the change.

Once you sign the Power of Attorney, your NIF certificate will be updated within a few business days.

 

No, the €79 fee covers one full year of tax representation. It is billed annually for continued service.

💡 You can cancel anytime through your Novomove account.

Yes. You can cancel anytime through your Novomove account.

🚨 Before canceling, you must first:
Activate digital notifications and remove our tax rep on the Portal das Finanças
OR appoint a new tax representative.

💡 Only after one of these steps is completed should you proceed with canceling your tax representation. This ensures you remain compliant and continue receiving important Finanças communications.

How do I cancel my tax representation?

To cancel, simply log into your Novomove account, navigate to the Orders section, and submit a cancellation request.

If you activate electronic notifications on Portal das Finanças, you do not need a tax representative.

However, if your tax address is outside Portugal and you have property, income, or other tax-related activities in Portugal, you may still receive important tax notices by mail.

🚨 If these letters never reach you, you could face fines or legal issues without realizing it.

💡 A tax representative prevents this risk by receiving and forwarding all your Finanças mail.
