An OCC-certified accountant
You're matched with an OCC-certified Portuguese accountant, a regulated professional, not a call-centre script.
A 1-to-1 call, on your terms
By phone or video, at a time you pick, focused entirely on your situation.
A written summary to keep
The answer, the numbers, and your next step, in plain language you can act on without a second call.
Which service do you need?
Not sure a call is what you need? Here's the quick version.
Most people start here
This consultation · €99
You have questions
How your income is taxed in Portugal, how IFICI works, sole trader versus company, or foreign income on the Portuguese side. A call plus a written summary.
Tax Planning Report · from €269
You want the numbers in writing
A calculated estimate of your Portuguese tax and a side-by-side of the regimes, before you commit. That’s our Tax Planning Report.
IRS Tax Filing · €349
You need to file your return
You’re resident and need to file your annual Portuguese return. That’s our IRS Tax Filing service.
Most people start with the call. If you need one of the others, your accountant points you there.
Sounds like your situation?
Most people arrive more confused than they expect. That's normal.
You might recognise yourself here.
You moved partway through the year and aren't sure if you're a Portuguese tax resident yet.
You have a regime (NHR or IFICI) but aren't sure which one, or what it means for you.
You're weighing whether to set up a Portuguese company or stay freelance.
You're trying to get into Portal das Finanças and don't know where to start.
You earn abroad (US rentals, a remote salary, a business idea) and want the Portuguese side explained.
You're on a long visa or Golden Visa wait and just want to know what you have to file.
If none of these fit exactly, book anyway and tell us your situation. The call adapts to you.
What we can help with
The questions people bring to the call.
Personal tax planning
Could I be more tax-efficient? I'm selling an asset, how do I do it tax-efficiently?
Self-employment
Should I set up as a sole trader or a company? What can I expense for my business?
Foreign income
I live in Portugal but earn money abroad. I've never filed in Portugal before.
Capital gains
What do I declare from selling shares or property? Do I owe capital gains or income tax?
Crypto
When is a sale or exchange declarable? Is my activity taxable?
Alojamento Local
How does tax work for my short-term rentals? What can I deduct?
VAT
What do I need to know about VAT in Portugal? How do I stay compliant as a freelancer?
IFICI (the incentive that replaced NHR)
What is IFICI, and what are the criteria? How does it work, and what would it mean for someone in my position? We explain the regime and its criteria on the call — confirming whether your specific case qualifies is a separate step. NHR is closed to new applicants; if you already hold it, we can factor it in.
Segurança Social
How do social security contributions work? What are my obligations and benefits?
What we cover on the call
Concrete answers, not a runaround.
We cover the Portuguese side of your taxes, and you get concrete answers you can act on — not a “this is complex, go see a specialist” brush-off.
✓ What we can explain
How your income is taxed in Portugal, and how residency works here.
What IFICI is and the criteria behind it.
What your next step should be.
Whether you’re on a D7 or a D8 doesn’t change your Portuguese tax position, so that’s one less thing to worry about.
✕ A few things we don't do
Rule on whether you personally qualify for a regime.
Run your exact tax calculations.
Handle your home country’s taxes. Your US or UK return stays with your own preparer.
Visa and immigration questions aren’t part of a tax call. For those we have a separate immigration consultation.
If your situation runs across several countries or tax years, tell us up front and your accountant will focus the call on what matters most.
How it works
Three steps, start to summary.
1
Tell us your situation
Fill in a short form. The more detail you give, the better prepared your accountant is for your call.
2
Book your call
We match you with an accredited accountant. Pick a date and time for your 45-minute call, by phone or video.
3
Get your summary
After the call your accountant posts a written summary with the answer and your next steps, saved in your account for whenever you need it.
What's included, and what isn't
Clear on both sides.
Included
- A 45-minute call, by phone or video, with your certified accountant.
- A written summary with the answer and your next steps, in your account.
- Come back whenever you need. Same €99, same accountant, so you never re-explain your situation.
Not included
- Tax calculations on the call. Your accountant advises, they don't compute your exact bill live. If you want the numbers in writing, that's the Tax Planning Report.
- Preparing or filing a return. That's our IRS Tax Filing service.
- Opening your freelance activity. That's our Abertura de Atividade service.
- Visa or immigration questions. Those are a separate 45-minute immigration consultation with our partner lawyer.
- Ongoing accounting or bookkeeping.

Before you book
Questions people ask.
An accountant helps you keep your existing activities in line with Finanças rules, make the most of the allowances and expenses available to you, and stay as tax-efficient as possible. A financial advisor helps with future planning and growing your wealth. This service is tax advice.
A 45-minute call, by phone or video, with your accredited accountant, plus a written summary of the call and any follow-up actions, saved in your Novomove account.
Not on the call. Your accountant gives advice, they don’t compute your exact bill live. For a provisional figure you can use the Simulate option in the Finanças portal. If you want a calculated estimate in writing, that’s our Tax Planning Report.
Yes, as often as you need. It’s €99 per consultation, and we pair you with the same accountant each time, so they already know your situation.
Yes, we can explain what IFICI is and what the criteria are, so you understand how it works. We don’t make an eligibility ruling on your specific case on the call. Confirming whether you qualify is a separate step, and if you want the actual numbers modelled, that’s the Tax Planning Report.
We cover the Portuguese side. If you’re a US or UK taxpayer, we can explain how Portugal treats your income and how that fits with your home filing, but your US or UK return stays with your own preparer. Structuring across several countries is bigger than one call, so tell us up front and we’ll focus on the Portuguese questions that matter most.
Not on a consultation, that’s advice only. We have separate services for filing your IRS return and for opening your freelance activity, and your accountant can point you to the right one.
