Find out answers to frequently asked questions about life and investment in Portugal
How can I apply for Portugal's IFICI (NHR 2.0) tax incentive in 2025?
Applications must be submitted to the Portuguese Tax Authorities (Portal das Finanças) or relevant agencies such as AICEP and IAPMEI, depending on the applicant's activity. Required documents may include proof of qualifications (e.g., degree certificates), employment contracts or self-employment verification and evidence of compliance with IFICI’s eligibility criteria.
Who is eligible for the Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) programme in Portugal?
Anyone who has not been a tax resident in Portugal for the past five years can apply for the NHR programme and be a Portuguese resident. The programme is open to both EU and non-EU citizens.
How are my retirement accounts taxed in Portugal?
Under the terms of the tax treaty, private pension income is only taxed in the country of residence. Therefore, as long as distributions are considered pension income in Portugal, they are taxed in Portugal at a 10% rate for those with NHR or at normal income rates for those without NHR. Please note that the tax-free withdrawals of Roth IRAs and Roth 401(K)s are not recognised by Portugal and you may end up paying tax on the distributions. Also note that public pensions (e.g. 403(b) plans and social security) will be taxed in the country of origin (i.e. the USA). For more information about how to handle your pensions contact our specialists.
Does the tax treaty cover State as well as Federal taxes?
This varies from state to state but most do not recognise the tax treaty. If you are still considered a resident of a State you may still be liable to pay income tax in that state (the threshold for this varies from state to state but can be as basic as still owning property in that state). It is important to be aware of your remaining connections to a state and how these might affect your tax liability.
Does the D7 visa in Portugal cover inheritance tax?
No, the D7 visa in Portugal does not provide an exemption or special coverage for inheritance tax.
