Specialist Tax Services

Self-Employment Business Registration

Self-Employment Registration & Tax Compliance

Starting a freelance or self-employed activity in Portugal involves several important tax and administrative steps. At TaxTeam Consulting, we assist you with registering your activity with the Portuguese Tax Authorities and understanding the tax obligations associated with your business.

Choosing the right tax and VAT regime

Before registering your activity, it is important to consider your expected annual income, the nature of your services and the VAT regime applicable to your activity. Depending on your circumstances and eligibility, you may be able to benefit from the Simplified Tax Regime, which calculates taxable income according to specific rules and coefficients applicable to your activity.

You should also assess whether you qualify for the VAT exemption regime. If eligible, you generally will not charge VAT on your invoices, but you will also be unable to deduct VAT incurred on expenses related to your activity. The applicable reporting obligations and conditions depend on your tax situation and the regime selected.

Invoicing and ongoing obligations

Once your activity has been registered, you must issue invoices or the appropriate tax documents within the applicable deadlines. This can generally be done through the Portuguese Tax Authorities’ online invoicing system or, where required, using certified invoicing software.

Social Security contributions

Self-employed professionals may also be subject to Portuguese Social Security contributions, depending on their activity and individual circumstances. Newly registered self-employed workers may qualify for an initial exemption period, subject to the applicable conditions. Contribution obligations, exemptions and entitlements vary according to the individual's situation.

At TaxTeam Consulting, we help you understand these requirements, assess the options available to you and manage your Portuguese tax obligations with greater clarity and confidence.

Personal Tax Services

Portuguese Personal Income Tax Return (IRS)

Filing your annual tax return in Portugal can be complex, particularly if you have income from different sources or are unfamiliar with the Portuguese tax system. At TaxTeam Consulting, we provide personalised assistance with the preparation and submission of your Portuguese Personal Income Tax Return (IRS).

Who needs to file an IRS tax return in Portugal?

If you are a tax resident in Portugal, you are generally required to declare your worldwide income, including income earned abroad, subject to the applicable tax rules and any relevant exemptions or relief under Portuguese law and double taxation agreements.

If you are a non-resident who has received income from Portuguese sources, you may also be required to submit an IRS tax return, depending on the type of income received and the applicable rules.

Understanding your tax obligations

Portuguese personal income tax rules take into account different categories of income, eligible deductions and tax allowances, as well as the taxpayer’s individual circumstances. Tax rates and the final amount of tax payable depend on the applicable tax regime, the nature and amount of your income and your personal situation.

The tax year in Portugal follows the calendar year, from January to December. For most individual taxpayers, the annual IRS return for the previous tax year must be submitted between 1 April and 30 June, subject to the applicable filing requirements.

How TaxTeam Consulting can help

We assist individuals, expatriates, foreign property owners and other taxpayers with their Portuguese IRS obligations, helping them understand the applicable requirements and submit their tax returns correctly and on time.

Whether you are a Portuguese tax resident, receive income from abroad or have earned income in Portugal as a non-resident, we can help you navigate the process with confidence.
