We establish the end date and check whether the exit-year rules keep you resident for the whole year. **Do your obligations to respond to Portuguese tax notices continue after you leave Portugal?** The tax authority's notices, and the deadlines they set, continue after you leave Portugal. **Can you use the former-residents regime if you come back?** You may qualify for the former-residents regime if you were resident in Portugal before but not in any of the five calendar years before returning, and your tax affairs are in order. Under current law, your residence in Portugal must start again by 31 December 2026. ## Questions ### Can I work with Taxbordr remotely?

It wasn't an easy task - Carol and Telmo did everything by the book and then when there was no response, Carol had a plan B and a plan C - until it got sorted out.
