A foreign company with staff in Portugal
If people already work for your foreign company from Portugal, we set out the Portuguese tax consequences for the company and the steps it takes here.
Our services
Staff in Portugal for a company abroadFor one to three people working here, we set out the company's tax, Social Security and payroll position.
Starting a companyIf you decide to employ your staff through a Portuguese company, we set out the regime to choose, its registrations and its first-year obligations.
RestructuringIf you are considering moving the company or changing its structure, we set out the alternatives, with the figures and the steps for each.
A letter from the tax authorityWe read the letter, check its deadline and prepare a factual or divergence reply.Payroll and accounts
Payroll for a company with no entity here can run through a provider the company chooses. Once you set up a Portuguese company, our partner accountant can keep its accounts, run its payroll and sign its return.
What decides your case
- A stay passing 183 days in any 12-month period, or a habitual home, normally makes staff resident from their first day here.
- Contracts habitually concluded here, or a fixed place of business, can make part of your profit taxable here.
- Payroll can run through a provider. If Portuguese Social Security applies, standard contributions are 23.75% for the employer and 11% for the employee.
- A valid A1 certificate can keep a posted employee in another country's Social Security system while the posting conditions are met.
Tax Consultation for your company
A 30-minute call with your adviser on a question for you and the company, then a follow-up memo within 3 working days after the call.
What clients say
My salary was still being paid from the US, but California also thought I had not really left. I needed someone who understood Portugal first, then could read the treaty and the state-residency problem without turning it into guesswork. The advice gave my US CPA a clear position to work from.
