Who must file
Tax residents report their worldwide income. Non-residents report Portuguese income, such as rent from a property in Portugal. Special regimes like NHR or IFICI are applied through this return.
The calendar
Returns for the previous year are normally filed between April and June. Refunds usually arrive within weeks of filing; payments are due by the date shown on the assessment.
Common pitfalls
- Foreign income or foreign tax paid not declared correctly
- Missing deductible expenses (health, education, housing)
- Filing as the wrong household type
If you don't live in Portugal, check whether you also need a tax representative.
