Questions, answered
Is IFICI the same as the old NHR?
No. IFICI, often called NHR 2.0, has its own conditions. The old NHR covers existing beneficiaries and certain transitional cases. Moving to Portugal now does not automatically open access to that earlier regime.
What does the 20% rate mean?
It applies to eligible net category A and B income, subject to IFICI conditions, for ten consecutive years. It is not a 20% rate on all income or gross salary. The previous five years of non-residence, your activity and the relevant entity must be checked, among other conditions.
Is setting up an LDA enough?
No. A sole shareholder who also acts as a director may have a route to examine, but the company, activity, duties and other conditions need to be checked. Passive share ownership is not enough.
What about pensions and foreign income?
Pensions do not benefit from the IFICI exemption for foreign income. Other foreign income needs to be assessed according to its type, source and the rules in each country involved.
When is the deadline?
The standard application deadline is 15 January of the year following the start of Portuguese tax residence: for example, 15 January 2027 for residence starting in 2026. A late application may allow access for the remaining years. The exact date and procedure must be checked for your case.
Must I know that I qualify before booking?
No. The introductory call also helps clarify missing information and compare options. Plans that are still in preparation do not receive an automatic rejection.
What is free?
The initial orientation call with AnchorLess. In-depth tax advice and setup through a partner are separate services, with scope and fees explained before you commit.
