Portugal Tax Services Under One Firm
Taxbordr is a Portugal-first cross-border tax advisory based in the Lisbon area, supporting international clients whose Portuguese tax exposure involves another jurisdiction. The agreed scope can cover Portugal-side analysis, filings, applications, and coordination; deliverables and any handoffs are confirmed in writing.
Where a written diagnosis is needed before execution, the standard entry point is a Tax Position Review at EUR 500. It records the current Portugal-side position, risks, opportunities, and recommended next step before any wider scope is agreed. Telmo Ramos leads the technical review and signs the Tax Position Review; the wider team supports delivery within the agreed scope.
International clients use this approach for Portuguese cross-border tax matters.
Short answer: Portugal tax services should begin with the position, then execution
Portugal tax services can include Modelo 3 filing, Anexo J foreign-income reporting, IFICI support, social security, freelancer setup, Finanças responses, and cross-border coordination. The risk is starting execution before the Portugal-side position is clear. Taxbordr uses the Tax Position Review first, then scopes the filing, application, or response work in writing with a fixed fee.
What Tax Services in Portugal Include
Tax services in Portugal usually include Modelo 3 filing, Anexo J foreign-income reporting, IFICI or NHR status checks, social security registration and contribution questions, Finanças notices, treaty relief, foreign tax credit coordination, and accountant handoff where another country is involved. Use the tax advisor in Portugal page when the position itself is still unsettled. Use the Portugal tax consultant page when you want one-to-one English-speaking consultation before choosing a filing or advisory scope.
How Engagements Are Scoped and Priced
Pricing is fixed, not hourly, and you see the number before you decide. Nothing starts on a meter.
The standard entry point is the Tax Position Review at EUR 500 when a written diagnosis is needed before execution.
In a 30-minute founder-led call plus a written Tax Position Review by email within 3 business days once the call and required inputs are complete, the review establishes your current Portugal-side position, the key risks, the opportunities, and the next step that fits your case. If the review will not add value, you are told so before the call and refunded in full.
Once the right service is clear, the fee for that engagement is fixed and quoted to you in writing before any work begins. For any engagement over EUR 1,500, the EUR 500 you paid for the review is credited in full toward that engagement, so the review is not an extra cost on top of the work; it is the front door to it. No fee for the work itself is committed until you have approved it in writing.
Who These Services Are For
These services fit people whose tax does not sit neatly inside one country. That includes expats relocating to Portugal, cross-border earners with income or assets in more than one jurisdiction, freelancers and independent workers registering activity here, retirees drawing foreign pensions, and founders or executives with equity and company interests abroad.
US filers carrying FBAR and FATCA obligations, UK arrivals dealing with split-year treatment, and anyone facing exit tax or deemed disposal on leaving a prior country all fit the same model: Taxbordr leads and documents the Portugal-side analysis within a defined scope so your other advisors can work from it.

How to Begin
The standard entry point is the Tax Position Review when a written diagnosis is needed first. You book it, take the 30-minute call, and receive a written Tax Position Review within 3 business days once the call and required inputs are complete setting out your Portugal-side position, the risks, the opportunities, and the next step.
From there, the right service becomes a specific recommendation rather than a guess, with a fixed fee quoted in writing, and the EUR 500 review fee is credited in full toward any engagement over EUR 1,500.
Book the review to get started. Before you arrive, the moving to Portugal tax checklist and the Portugal tax calendar 2026 are useful background. Calls run on Google Meet in English or Portuguese. To ask a question first, get in touch, or read more about the firm.
What Clients Say
"In one year I had UK consulting income, RSUs from a former employer, a small Portuguese sole-trader activity, and questions about whether IFICI was even available to me. I did not know what belonged on the return and what was just noise. Taxbordr separated the income streams, flagged the documents I was missing, and gave me a filing plan I could actually follow."
"I had French rental income, a UK freelance contract, and Portuguese salary from a Lisbon employer. I knew I needed IFICI but had no idea which streams to declare in which box. Telmo's team built a declaration schedule that showed exactly what went where, and I stopped losing sleep over whether I'd missed something."
"A pension, a rental abroad, and equity from a former employer. I had no idea how Portugal would treat any of it or what I had to declare. They went through it stream by stream, told me what belonged on Anexo J and what didn't, and handled the filing."

Frequently Asked Questions
What Tax Services Do You Offer in Portugal?
Taxbordr offers defined-scope Portugal-side services: IFICI and NHR regime applications, cross-border tax coordination, annual Modelo 3 returns with foreign-income annexes and e-Fatura validation, freelancer setup and compliance, move and residency planning, Finanças responses and corrections, and year-round monitoring. Each service has a defined scope and a fixed fee quoted in writing before work begins.
How Much Does a Portugal Tax Consultation Cost?
The entry point is the Tax Position Review at EUR 500 flat. You get a 30-minute founder-led call plus a written Tax Position Review by email within 3 business days once the call and required inputs are complete, covering your current Portugal-side position, key risks, opportunities, and the next step. If it will not add value, you are told before the call and refunded in full.
Do You Have a Tax Filing Platform for Expats in Portugal?
Taxbordr is an advisory firm rather than a self-service platform. Your annual Portugal tax return is prepared and filed for you: Modelo 3 with Anexo J for foreign income and e-Fatura validation, handled by the firm. Each return sits on documented analysis reviewed within the firm, with named responsibility for the filing rather than software alone.
Can You Prepare My Portugal Tax Return If I Have Foreign Income?
Yes. The Annual Portugal Tax Return service prepares and files your Modelo 3 including Anexo J for foreign income, with e-Fatura validation. Where treaty relief or cross-border allocation is involved, that analysis is documented as part of the work so your home-country preparer can rely on the Portugal-side position.
How Are Your Fees Set for Tax Work in Portugal?
Fees are fixed, not hourly. The only price stated up front is the Tax Position Review at EUR 500. After the review identifies the right service, that engagement's fee is fixed and quoted to you in writing before any work begins. For engagements over EUR 1,500, the EUR 500 review fee is credited in full toward the work.
Do I Have to Do the Tax Position Review Before Other Services?
The Tax Position Review is the standard entry point when a written diagnosis is needed before execution. It establishes your Portugal-side position and tells you which service you actually need, so the recommendation is specific rather than a guess. The EUR 500 review fee is credited in full toward any engagement over EUR 1,500, so it is the front door to the work, not an added cost.
Can You Help with an IFICI or NHR Application?
Yes. The regime application service assesses your eligibility and handles the IFICI application for qualifying new arrivals, or supports you under the older NHR regime where it still applies to your case. Scope and the fixed fee are confirmed in writing after the Tax Position Review establishes which regime fits your situation.
What Languages and Formats Do You Work In?
Calls run on Google Meet in English or Portuguese. Taxbordr supports international clients whose Portuguese exposure involves another jurisdiction and coordinates documented Portugal-side points with home-country advisors where included in the agreed scope.
