What is the Portugal NHR tax regime? Introduced in 2009 and updated in 2020, the non-habitual tax regime offers reduced tax rates and tax exemptions for new residents in Portugal for the first ten years. This makes Portugal a very attractive country for individuals to reside, especially for those who want to enjoy retirement in the country. With over 23,000 non-habitual tax regime residents registered in Portugal today, the scheme has been highly successful and the 2021 State Budget confirms that Portugal will continue to offer these benefits for new residents in 2021.

Brexit itself will not affect the double tax agreements that determine which country has the right to tax expatriates. However, two key changes are set to happen from 2021 that may change your tax treatment.
