Specimen — Demonstration Only

Sample Tax Position Review

This is a composite specimen of the written review Telmo signs for every Tax Position Review client. It shows the form, depth, and voice — not anyone's actual position. Client details are redacted and figures are illustrative.

This page demonstrates form, not advice. The scenario below is composite — it blends common questions without describing any client. Dates, names, and amounts are redacted or illustrative. Nothing here is a position you can rely on. Your own review is written from your facts, your documents, and the law as it applies to you.

The Specimen

A review in the order it is written

Specimen document. Ref TPR-2026-041 is a composite reference for demonstration continuity — it is not a live client file.

What a Review Contains

Each section earns its place

The specimen above is compact by design. In your own review, each section is expanded with your facts, your provisions, and your trade-offs. Here is what each one carries.

Facts

Facts we work from

We start from your facts: the countries involved, your residency timeline, your income types, and the decision in front of you. The call locks these down. The written review restates them so you can see we understood the question before we answered it.

Law

Law applied, not summarised

Your review cites the specific provisions: the residency tests in the Portuguese tax code, the treaty articles that bear on your position (residence, pensions, government service), the IFICI regime rules and their application window, and any home-country rules that attach.

Numbers

Routes compared side by side

Where two defensible routes exist, both are costed side by side — effective rates, cash-flow timing, and what triggers each. We show the comparison, not just the answer, so you can see the trade before you take it.

Risks

Conditions and deadlines named

A position is only as good as its conditions. Your review names the facts that must hold, the deadlines that bind, the filing obligations that attach, and the points where the position is contested or genuinely uncertain.

Next Steps

A decision path, not an open door

The review ends with a path: what to do, in what order, by when, and what falls outside its scope. If your case needs more than the review, the review says so and quotes it separately — it does not leave you at the edge of an upsell.

Delivery

Written, capped, signed

Five pages, written, signed by Telmo personally. Delivered within three business days of the call. Yours to keep whether or not you take up anything further.

About the Sample

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real client's Tax Position Review?
No. It is a composite specimen. The scenario blends common questions without describing any client. Dates, names, and amounts are redacted or illustrative. Nothing on this page is a position you can rely on. Your own review is written from your facts, your documents, and the law as it applies to you.
Will my review look like this?
Same structure and depth: facts restated, law cited, numbers compared where routes compete, risks and conditions named, and a decision path to close. The specifics are yours — your countries, your income types, your deadlines, your treaty articles.
Why is the review a paid deliverable?
Because it is work, not a sales call. The 30-minute call locks down the facts; the written review is the analysis. The EUR 500 fee is credited in full toward any engagement over EUR 1,500, so it is only a standalone cost if your case stays simple.
How long until I receive my review?
Three business days from the call, written and signed by Telmo. If your case needs more than the review covers, the review says so and quotes the further work separately before anything is added.
