Taxpayers’ applications for registration under Article 2 and notifications of changes under Article 5 are made using an official form approved by order (despacho) of the member of the Government responsible for finance.

Os pedidos de inscrição dos sujeitos passivos no termos do artigo 2.º, bem como a comunicação de alterações nos termos do artigo 5.º, são efetuadas através de modelo oficial aprovado por despacho do membro do Governo responsável pela área das finanças.

What we checked in this article

Check that “despacho” is distinguished from “portaria” and that the Portuguese typo “no termos” has been kept unchanged in the Portuguese column.

Moving to Portugal for a qualifying role? Article 9 sets how and when to register.

We check whether the role and the employer qualify for IFICI, prepare the registration and the employer’s documents, and model the tax saving against the normal rates. A written answer and a fixed quote within one working day.

Unofficial English translation prepared by BCA Portugal for reference. Only the Portuguese text published in the Diário da República has legal force. Editorial notes are ours and are not part of the statute.
