My firm LegalSquare charges me 1200 Euros for tax representation every year. I feel this is very high given thereās nothing to fill in it as iām not a resident yet or have any properties there except my investment funds.
How much do you guys pay and any recommendations?
Thanks
600 for me. Every yr
My recommendation is to pay 0 Euros:
Portuguese tax representation no longer required for non-EU residents ā Nomad Gateā¦
I think I pay about 600/eur a year. I know I donāt need to, but I consider it an excuse to bother my lawyer about things as often as I want without worrying about taking up tons of their time, more or less
The problem with tax representation is that most of the time this is bundled together with the GV application by many law firms in Portugal. Itās very hard to deselect this from their package - the lawyer will not be happy when you request this. I have yet to find a law firm that would allow tax representation to be excluded from the package.
I pay 500ā¬/year, with the exact same strategy 
I think 900/yr for us even though we have no tax obligations there. Agree with callixtus, its part of the ARI annual fee scam while we wait indefinitely for movement on our application.
Fairly certain several folks here have done this
I canāt see the option for tax representation in their listed services
You can pay as much as you want for tax representation. I used to pay 60ā¬ / yr at nifonline. Now I pay 0ā¬ / yr with a Portuguese friend as my tax rep.
Nice unfortunately i donāt have a portugese friend. Maybe itās high time i get oneā¦
I just dont understand this. Why would you pay just in case when you do not need to submit a return? A good accountant will charge on the basis of time and does not want to keep clients on the books āin caseā because of the compliance issues. A good accountant is happy to leave you to contact them if you need to in the future.
These are lawyers and not accountants. 
Also, the way they justify their annual fees is like you are renting their address or mailbox so that all AIMA letters sent via post could be sent or received at your tax repās offices. I am not sure if thatās worth EUR 400 to EUR 1000 per yearā¦
No Callixtus, nor am I convinced!!
I see no need for lawyers once you are in a country ands settled. All tax authorities post to me wherever I am, but most are digital. I dont even have a mailbox at my home as I am paperlessā¦
My belief is that being a nomad should make life easier not more complicated. Less form filling and more livingā¦ I think many believe they have to replicate their home country - ID documents, certificates, tax returns -
At some point, youāll have to pay properly taxes.
I pay 600 eur/year
As stated elsewhere, pay nothing if you donāt need it, pay ā¬100 if you donāt need it but want it, for a sort of insurance. The figure mentioned in the opening mail is not honest, if I may put it like that.
When I first applied for GV I questioned my lawyer about the tax representation fee and I suggested to her that it was too high and asked her if she would reduce the amount. She said it was well justified because the tax representative takes on a lot of financial risk. Then I did not own any property in Portugal nor did I have any income. I did not know any better at the time. Now I do know better. As an aside, I also learned when I demanded a change in my tax rep that the ātax repā was actually a captive company of the law firm. Go figure. A wise person said that a fool and his money are soon parted.
Thereās this, if it applies to you
Bordr 150 Euros per year.
Its been discussed elsewhere but typically only the primary GV applicant needs a representative as they have income. Spouses can switch to electronic notification.
