It’s time to return to Portugal!
The Special Taxation Regime for Non-Habitual Residents has been revoked, but there are other alternative tax incentive measures applicable to non-residents who wish to come and live in Portugal.
Among these measures is the “Regressar Programme”, created with the aim of encouraging Portuguese emigrants to return and settle in the country, as well as their descendants and other family members, which offers support measures to facilitate reintegration into the labor market, as well as more favorable tax conditions.
