Fiscal Representation, Explained

Fiscal representation means having a local representative before the Portuguese Tax Authority. Non-residents who do not yet have a Portuguese address are generally required to have one: the representative receives official tax correspondence and keeps your file compliant while you live abroad.

One year of fiscal representation is included with every NIF order on this page. At the end of that year the representation is renewed at €99/year. You can cancel it as soon as you become a Portuguese tax resident and update your address with the tax office — after that you no longer need a representative. Our team will help you with the cancellation steps.
