Your Portuguese tax return, done right the first time.

Tax residents (anyone living in Portugal more than 183 days, or with their permanent home here) declare their worldwide income. Non-residents only declare Portuguese-source income — rental from a Portuguese property, capital gains on Portuguese assets, dividends from Portuguese companies. If you're unsure of your status, our free 15-minute call will pin it down.

The Portuguese tax year is the calendar year. Filing season runs 1 April to 30 June for the previous year's income. We recommend reserving a slot before mid-May — later in the season our specialist accountants fill up.

Yes — in every package. We track which of your income types qualify for the special rates under your regime and apply them on Anexo L.

We file your Portuguese return. The Portuguese tax you've paid is documented in the filing — your US preparer claims it as a foreign tax credit on Form 1116 of your 1040 to avoid double taxation. If you're a US citizen with foreign accounts, you may also have FBAR obligations (FinCEN Form 114, required if your aggregate foreign account balances crossed USD 10,000 at any point during the year) — that's filed separately from your 1040, and your US preparer or a US-licensed tax pro handles it. We don't file US returns or coordinate directly with US CPAs.

Couples filing jointly pay a flat €359 as one household, provided both returns fit within the flat-fee scope above. Your accountant models both Tributação Conjunta and Tributação Separada and submits whichever yields the lower combined tax.

If either partner's situation goes beyond that scope, we send a custom quote within 24 hours.

Joint filing requires marriage or a registered união de facto. Unmarried couples without that registration each file individually at €249 per person.

Yes — book the paid consultation first. Late or amended returns are handled case by case, depending on which years and whether AT has already contacted you. We'll quote each year's filing after the call.

Yes. Our accountant uses your Portal das Finanças access to prepare the return, run the simulation for your review, and submit after you approve. You send the password through a one-time encrypted link (we provide instructions). After AT confirms your filing, we delete it. You're free to change it any time after that.

If your return shows tax owed, AT issues a payment slip with a reference number and deadline (typically end of August). You pay through your Portuguese bank, ATM, or Multibanco using the reference. We don't handle the payment — we just make sure the assessment is right.

AT pays refunds directly to the Portuguese bank account (IBAN) registered on your Portal. Most refunds land in July or August. We'll show you the expected amount before submission.

Yes. Annual IRC filing for an LDA or Unipessoal LDA is handled by a certified accountant (TOC) from our network — quoted separately based on activity volume. Book a free call and mention the company.

AT correspondence lands in your Portal das Finanças account, so check it periodically after filing. If they ask for clarification or supporting documents on something we filed, forward the message to your order chat thread — your accountant will respond within the scope of the return we prepared. If AT issues a corrected liquidação or starts a formal review (inspeção tributária), that's outside the standard filing scope but we'll point you to the right next step.

Late filings are still accepted — you'll just owe a fine starting at €150 for individuals (more if AT had to contact you first). We can still file. Order as soon as you can; we treat late filings with priority during the post-deadline period.

No. Novomove is a technology platform that coordinates your filing through a network of OCC-certified Portuguese accountants who handle the regulated tax work. During onboarding, you'll receive an engagement letter — a letter of responsibility — directly between you and the certified accountant assigned to your case.
