There are two primary routes to qualify for Portugal’s IFICI tax incentive:
Highly Qualified Professionals Route: Must gain employment or self-employment with a Portuguese entity in a highly skilled profession or an activity that aligns with the regime’s objectives.
Start-Up Route: Entrepreneurs establishing a start-up in one of Portugal’s sectors that aligns with the regime’s objectives (this route also requires having a job position in the certified start-up from which the income is derived).
Both routes require the applicant to become a tax resident in Portugal, and to have not been a tax resident in the country for the previous five years.
Portugal’s IFICI tax incentive provides robust support for professionals in export-oriented industrial and service companies.
Companies must generate at least 50% of their turnover from exports OR operate in key sectors such as manufacturing, information technology, and research and development (R&D).
Certified start-ups must:
Start-ups must also demonstrate innovation or secure external investments, such as venture capital or funding from the Portuguese Development Bank.
Identify the appropriate authority based on your activity (e.g., Tax Authorities, AICEP, or IAPMEI) to submit the enrollment request.
Register with the relevant authority to indicate your intention to apply for the IFICI tax incentive.
Ensure your application for the IFICI tax regime is submitted by January 15 of the year following your residency. For instance, if you obtain residency in 2025, the deadline will be January 15, 2026.
Employers must confirm that your role meets the eligibility criteria for highly qualified positions via the Tax Authorities’ portal.
Depending on the relevant activity, check the corresponding compliance conditions (excluding export turnover thresholds and ensure your activity aligns with the regime’s requirements for industrial or service companies).
