The company&#8217;s <strong style=\"color:#1B2A4A\">main<\/strong> activity code has to be on IAPMEI&#8217;s list of eligible activities. IT and software, engineering and R&amp;D are on it. Management consultancy isn&#8217;t, and an eligible code that&#8217;s only secondary doesn&#8217;t count. This route has no export test.<\/p><p style=\"margin:14px 0 0;max-width:700px\">Only your pay as gerente, through Portuguese payroll, gets the 20%. Dividends from your own company don&#8217;t. Activity codes are hard to change once the company is registered, so they get checked first. Our company formation service already has the same OCC-certified accountant choosing your codes, so tell us at the start that IFICI matters to you. The codes still have to describe the business you actually run. The assessment checks whether that business fits.<\/p><p style=\"margin:14px 0 0;max-width:700px\">Order the assessment first. If your route runs through a company, your verdict will say so, and your company formation and application can follow from it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a8b0c5 elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6a8b0c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/clients.novomove.com\/order\/IFICI-Assessment\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Start with the assessment \u2192<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e02dd9 e-flex e-con-full e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7e02dd9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8f9c58 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b8f9c58\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50c7f58 e-flex e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"50c7f58\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8858c56 e-flex e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8858c56\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3f51da elementor-view-stacked elementor-shape-square elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"f3f51da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-exclamation-triangle\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M569.517 440.013C587.975 472.007 564.806 512 527.94 512H48.054c-36.937 0-59.999-40.055-41.577-71.987L246.423 23.985c18.467-32.009 64.72-31.951 83.154 0l239.94 416.028zM288 354c-25.405 0-46 20.595-46 46s20.595 46 46 46 46-20.595 46-46-20.595-46-46-46zm-43.673-165.346l7.418 136c.347 6.364 5.609 11.346 11.982 11.346h48.546c6.373 0 11.635-4.982 11.982-11.346l7.418-136c.375-6.874-5.098-12.654-11.982-12.654h-63.383c-6.884 0-12.356 5.78-11.981 12.654z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5d2a66 e-flex e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e5d2a66\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0948b33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0948b33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Before you pay us: three questions that rule people out.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f590c11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f590c11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"margin:0px 0 0;max-width:700px\"><strong style=\"color:#1B2A4A\">One.

IFICI replaced it for new arrivals, and it's much narrower: NHR was about being a new resident, IFICI is about the work you do and who you do it for. Pensioners were the biggest winners under NHR and are mostly outside IFICI. Our IFICI guide explains the regime in full.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I work remotely for a company abroad. Do I qualify?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Not through that job on its own. Every route needs an entity based in Portugal, and a foreign salary for work you do while living here is taxed in Portugal as normal income. There can be other ways in, through a Portuguese subsidiary, a Portuguese employer or your own company. The assessment looks at whether any of them fit your case.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I'm on a D7 or D8 visa. Can I still get IFICI?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Possibly, through the company route: a Portuguese company in an eligible activity, with you as its paid gerente. The visa and the tax regime are decided by different authorities, so the two have to fit together. On a D8, keep your clients abroad and keep their contracts and invoices, because the renewal looks at who you work for, and make sure your gerente salary plus any other income still meets the D8 income test. On a D7, gerente pay is work income and the D7 is built on passive income, so keep your passive income above the D7 threshold on its own. Book the free 15-minute call before you form the company.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I'm a freelancer. Can I get IFICI?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Not as a plain freelancer on recibos verdes: none of the routes covers that setup. Workable cases run through a Portuguese company with an eligible main activity, you in a paid role, and real clients. If you haven't opened anything yet, that's good news: order the assessment before you register a freelance activity or a company, so the structure gets decided once.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I have a degree and years of experience. Isn't that enough?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Qualifications matter on some routes, but they're never enough on their own. The role has to be on the qualifying list and the entity has to be eligible. Someone with a PhD in the wrong structure doesn't qualify, and someone with a shorter qualification in the right role at the right entity can.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What if the assessment says I don't qualify?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Then you've found out before paying for an application, and you have it in writing. Your verdict says what would have to change for you to qualify, and whether that's realistic before your deadline. Sometimes the honest answer is that IFICI isn't for you, and a Tax Planning Report on the normal regime is the better next step.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is the assessment fee taken off the application?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, when you go ahead. If your assessment finds you likely to qualify, the report includes a code that takes the \u20ac200 off the application. If the answer is no, you've found out for \u20ac200 before spending \u20ac1,500.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can you guarantee I'll be approved?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No, and nobody honestly can. The tax authority decides, together with the body that certifies your route. What your accountant can do is check your case properly before filing and send a complete, correct application, which is where most refusals are avoided.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"I missed the 15 January deadline. Is it over?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. You've missed the 15 January deadline, but you can still register. The 20% then runs from the year you file, and the ten years still count from the year you became resident, so file as soon as you can. If you're not sure you qualify, order the assessment first.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What happens if I change jobs?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"You keep IFICI as long as you're doing a qualifying activity. If you move between qualifying roles, you have six months to start the new one, and the change has to be reported by 15 January of the following year. A new employer or a new certifying body can mean a fresh application. If more than six months pass without a qualifying activity, you lose that year's benefit, not the regime.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I need to be in Portugal already?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"To apply, you need to be a Portuguese tax resident. To get the assessment, no. In fact the best time to do it is before you move, while the structure can still be set up around the rules instead of the other way round.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is Novomove an accounting firm?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. We coordinate.
