New updates about NHR in Portugal

Are you a current NHR tax holder?

According to a new Wealthy Expats report, just 27% of current NHR tax holders have structured their income and assets to mitigate future progressive tax rates of between 28% and 48%.

If you're between 1 and 7 years into your NHR tax status, optimise your investments, pensions, property, dividends, royalties, and other income now before it's too late.

Using our proprietary financial model and structuring of your income and assets you can potentially mitigate unnecessary tax and financial burdens moving forward.

Any delay in taking early action could cost the 72,326 affluent expats on the NHR tax regime potentially millions in lost income and wealth through future high taxes.
