Rough Notes

Foreigners can take advantage of a unique tax benefits system in Portugal, called NHR (Non-Habitual Resident Status). Introduced in 2009 by the Portuguese government to attract ‘high value’ residents, NHR offers reduced tax rates and some exemptions for your first ten years in the country. If you work in Portugal, you pay a flat 20% income tax rate. But foreign income is tax-free if requirements are met.
