Why is it important to think like a Portuguese resident when planning for the end of your NHR tax status?

Portugal, as part of the European Union, operates under EU financial regulations. Adopting a long-term financial strategy that aligns with Portugal’s tax system—rather than relying solely on NHR benefits—can help you better navigate the transition to standard tax rates (28%-48% post-NHR). Thinking like a Portuguese resident while planning can provide clarity, stability, and effective tax mitigation beyond the NHR period.
