What is NHR Status?
Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) is a tax regime in Portugal that offers tax benefits to individuals who become tax residents in Portugal and meet certain criteria. Under the NHR regime, qualifying individuals may be eligible for a flat income tax rate of 20% on certain types of income for a period of ten years.
To qualify for NHR status in Portugal, an individual must meet the following conditions:
• Not have been a tax resident in Portugal in the previous five years
• Become a tax resident in Portugal under Portuguese domestic law
• Remain a tax resident in Portugal for at least 183 days in a given year, or have a residence in Portugal that, on any day of the year, gives the individual reasonable grounds to assume that they intend to maintain and occupy it as their habitual residence
• Obtain a tax identification number in Portugal
The NHR regime applies to certain types of income, such as employment income, self-employment income, pension income, rental income, and capital gains income. It is important to note that income earned from Portuguese sources may be subject to additional taxes.
It is advisable to consult with a qualified tax professional to determine whether you are eligible for NHR status and to understand the tax implications of becoming a tax resident in Portugal under this regime.
