What is the Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) tax programme in Portugal?

The Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) came in 2009 and is a tax regime designed for non-residents or individuals who become tax residents in Portugal. The NHR tax system offers 0% tax benefits on passive income for 10 years. The Non-Habitual Residency programme has been instrumental in attracting foreign professionals, entrepreneurs, and retirees to Portugal. It offers a competitive tax regime and encourages investment and economic growth in the country. However, it's important to consult with one of our tax advisors or legal professionals to fully understand the programme's requirements and how it applies to individual circumstances. This NHR works very well alongside the D7 visa which has significant tax advantages when combined.
