Sovereign Portugal - Personal Income Tax (IRS)

Portugal's Personal Income Tax (IRS) applies differently depending on whether you are a Portuguese tax resident or non-resident. Understanding your residency status, taxable income and applicable tax rates is essential for effective tax planning. Sovereign provides expert advice on Portuguese income tax, residency and ongoing compliance.

Personal Income Tax (Imposto sobre o rendimento das pessoas singulares – IRS) is paid by individuals on income obtained according to the categories below. In general, you will be considered as tax resident in Portugal if you spend:

  • More than 183 days in Portugal within any 12-month period; or
  • Fewer than 183 days in Portugal but have residential accommodation that the Tax Department considers to be your ‘permanent home’.

Residents of Portugal are liable for Portuguese tax on all their worldwide income and some capital gains. They may also attract taxes on property rental, transfer of real estate

Non-residents of Portugal are liable for Portuguese tax only on Portuguese-source income and certain capital gains on Portuguese assets but remain liable for taxation in their country of residence.
