What we checked in this article

1974 text, not amended.

Paying or receiving income between Portugal and Switzerland? Article 21 may decide where it is taxed.

We apply tax treaties to dividends, interest, royalties, salaries and gains, prepare the relief-at-source form and refund claims, and check structures against the treaty’s anti-abuse rules. A written answer and a fixed quote within one working day.

Unofficial English translation prepared by BCA Portugal for reference. The Convention was done in Portuguese and French and only those texts are authentic. The Portuguese text is reproduced from the official publication. Editorial notes are ours and are not part of the Convention.

Applying the law

Treaty relief between Portugal and Switzerland, claimed correctly

Treaty rates are not automatic in Portugal: the recipient must give the payer a form certified by its own tax authority before the tax is due, or claim a refund afterwards. We check which article applies, the rate and the paperwork.
