Portugal offers many benefits to UK citizens looking for a new life experience, employment opportunities, warmer retirement climes or a new culture to enjoy.
However, the primary concern for expats remains understanding international taxation systems. The tax regulations in Portugal can vary substantially from those in the UK, so it remains vital to stay on top of how the rules impact your finances, whether an existing Portuguese resident or a prospective expat planning your relocation.
This complexity is further exaggerated with the UK no longer being part of the EU, leaving many Brits considering a relocation concerned about where this remains a viable option.
Chase Buchanan has created a FREE Guide: The Chase Buchanan Guide: Taxes in Portugal which explains the most relevant factors to consider and highlights the most significant variances between the Portuguese and UK tax regimes.
Taxes are essential to every expat, whether living, studying, retiring, working, or raising a family abroad.
Our free Guide works through every aspect of expat tax scenarios, including:
- Tax residency & eligibility criteria.
- How taxes impact rental income both at home and abroad.
- Wealth tax, and who it applies to.
- Inheritance planning and variances between taxation rules.
- Tax-efficient investment options.
- Receiving pension income as an overseas expat.

We have created our FREE downloadable Guide, The Chase Buchanan Guide: Taxes in Portugal, to provide a comprehensive overview of how taxes in Portugal work, complete with tax tables.

Others, however, are very different from the regulations UK nationals will be familiar with. Our Guide explores the most significant differences and identifies some of the pitfalls that expats often experience. This information is crucial to ensuring you can plan effectively and understand your tax position.
