What decides your case
What goes on your return from abroad? Income from abroad goes on your Portuguese return with relief for the tax paid abroad, and the treaty with the paying country decides where a pension is taxed.
What changes when your NHR ends? NHR lasts ten years, your return carries the NHR annex until it ends, and the decisions that change your tax afterwards come before the last year closes.
Does the date of a sale or a lump sum change its tax? The date of a sale, a pension lump sum or a change of residence can change its tax, so these decisions come before the year ends.
When is the return for 2026 filed? Under current law, the return for 2026 income is filed from 1 April to 30 June 2027, and 30 June does not move to the next working day.

What clients say
4.7 on Google from 43 reviewsI’ve really enjoyed working with Telmo, after being a bit daunted submitting my self employed tax returns in Portugal, it was a bit overwhelming learning a new system after coming from the Uk. Telmo has put my mind at ease, being both friendly and professional he has resolved many things for me, making my life in Portugal feel a lot easier and I look forward to continue working with him throughout the years. I’d highly recommend him.
I approached taxbordr to help sort out the tax at the my bank in Portugal as a foreigner. 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. Always explaining the challenges but also taking the next step towards solution.

A pension, a rental abroad, and equity from a former employer. I had no idea how Portugal would treat any of it or what I had to declare. They went through it stream by stream, told me what belonged on Anexo J and what didn't, and handled the filing.
