Every foreign resident must file Portuguese taxes based on their worldwide income. While most Portuguese locals don't use a tax preparer to file their taxes, foreign residents filing for the first time -- especially those with other-country tax filing requirements and those with NHR -- generally do need support at least the first year to understand Portugal's tax code, income definitions, requirements, and NHR categorizations so they don't make mistakes resulting in fines and costly refiling.

What we covered:

  • 2023 filing dates, deadlines & extensions
  • Who should file
  • What counts as worldwide income
  • Tax treaties
  • What to ask before you hire someone to file for you
  • Cost ranges for filing support

Moving to Portugal shouldn't be difficult.

Finding information and resources you can trust is hard.

Amy Kraushaar Founded Expacity to Help People Move to Portugal

Hi, I’m Amy Kraushaar!

I know what it feels like to struggle with learning everything you need to move to Portugal, as I’ve done it myself.

I moved to Portugal in 2003, when much of Portugal was still offline. With 20 years of Portugal-living under my belt, I’ve navigated almost all of Portugal’s foreign resident experiences.

I know the ropes. From renting to buying to selling property; from being an employee to being self-employed; from culture shock to the thrill of being assumed a local; and all the stuff in-between that it takes to move and settle-in to Portugal: shipping your stuff, finances, mortgages, buying a car, choosing insurance, using the healthcare system (public and private), furnishing homes, taxes, starting a business, pet-ownership, learning the language, and making peace with Portugal’s bureaucracy.

Along the way, I met and built relationships with professionals and experts whom I could count on to give me the straight scoop, and deliver excellent service.

Now, I’m sharing all of that learning with you so you can become more informed and independent, understand the why behind the what, make better decisions, connect and work with trusted professionals, and truly settle-in and enjoy your exciting new life in Portugal, successfully!
