Portugal Tax Services Under One Firm
Taxbordr is a founder-led Portugal cross-border tax advisory, based in the Lisbon area and serving international clients with Portuguese tax exposure across all jurisdictions. The work runs the full scope of the Portugal side, from your first residency question to a filed return, with no gaps handed off and nothing left vague.
Every engagement starts the same way: a Tax Position Review at EUR 500. That review reads your current Portugal-side position, names the risks and the opportunities, and tells you which service you actually need, before you commit to anything larger. Telmo Ramos, founder of Taxbordr, registered with the Ordem dos Economistas under Cédula nº 16379, with a Master's in Tax Law and prior experience at KPMG Luxembourg and EY Lisbon, leads and signs the memo behind every engagement.
More than 250 clients across 26 countries have used this approach. The Google review profile sits at 4.9.
How Engagements Are Scoped and Priced
Pricing is fixed, not hourly, and you see the number before you decide. Nothing starts on a meter.
Every engagement begins with the Tax Position Review at EUR 500. In a 30-minute founder-led call plus a signed Position Memo by email within three business days, 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: one firm owns the Portugal-side analysis and documents it clearly enough that your other advisors can work from it.

How to Begin
There is one entry point: the Tax Position Review. You book it, take the 30-minute call, and receive a signed Position Memo within three business days 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 credited 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, with other working languages on request. To ask a question first, get in touch, or read more about the firm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Tax Services Do You Offer in Portugal?
Taxbordr covers the full Portugal side: IFICI and NHR regime applications, cross-border tax coordination, your annual Modelo 3 return 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 signed Position Memo by email within three business days, 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 a founder-led advisory 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. Every return sits on an analysis Telmo Ramos leads and signs, so a person owns your position, not 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?
Yes. The Tax Position Review is the single entry point to every engagement. 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 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, with other working languages available on request. Taxbordr is based in the Lisbon area and serves international clients with Portuguese tax exposure across all jurisdictions, so the work is built to coordinate with advisors and authorities in your other country, not just Portugal.
