Planning around a Portuguese tax benefit? Article 52 sets the conditions.

We check eligibility for IFICI, the Madeira regime, the start-up and capitalisation incentives and the property benefits, prepare the registrations and claims, and model what the benefit is worth, in English. 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.
