After the 10-year status at the end of NHR, rates transition to Portugal’s standard of 28% to 48%. Reviewing your cross-border tax and wealth structure well before NHR expires allows you to evaluate future considerations and explore planning options aligned with your personal circumstances.
Early engagement with cross-border tax and wealth professionals — ideally during years 1 to 7 of NHR — can help individuals understand future considerations and assess which planning options may be relevant to their situation.
Starting sooner provides more time to review income and asset structures, reduce uncertainty, and plan with greater confidence as the end of NHR approaches.

Many NHR tax holders delay planning until the later years of their status — often without fully understanding how post-NHR taxation may affect their income, assets, and estate planning.
As NHR comes to an end, individuals may move on to Portugal’s standard tax framework, where outcomes depend on personal circumstances, income sources, and how assets are structured. Preparing early allows time to explore legitimate cross-border planning considerations and understand what options may or may not be available in your situation. Speaking with experienced cross-border tax and wealth professionals early in the process can provide clarity, reduce uncertainty, and support informed decision-making.
Portugal Pathways helps individuals understand the landscape ahead of NHR expiry by introducing them to regulated professionals who can assess tax exemptions, deductions, incentives, and estate-planning considerations where appropriate. Outcomes vary by individual, but early planning often provides greater flexibility and peace of mind.
Our team at Portugal Pathways supports and introduces you to tax and legal professionals to review your current situation and available structuring considerations aligned to your individual circumstances.
