Ensure full compliance and meet the 30 June filing deadline with clear, practical guidance from English-speaking tax accountants.
Meet the Portugal IRS Deadline,
The Portuguese personal income tax (IRS) filing deadline is 30 June. Missing this deadline, or filing your return incorrectly, can lead to financial penalties and unnecessary tax exposure. Navigating a foreign tax system can be complex, especially when you have income from multiple countries. RHJ Accountants can manage your tax return from start to finish from €350, providing complete peace of mind and ensuring you pay exactly what you owe.
Who Should File a Tax Return in Portugal?
Understanding your tax obligations is the first step to remaining compliant. You must file an IRS if any of the following apply:
- You are a tax resident: You spend more than 183 days a year in Portugal or have a primary home here
- You earn foreign income: You receive income from outside Portugal, such as a pension, dividends, or rental income
- You work remotely: You live in Portugal but work for a foreign employer or run a foreign business
- You are a freelancer: You operate as a registered freelancer (issuing recibos verdes) within Portugal
- You hold special tax status: You benefit from the NHR (Non-Habitual Resident) or IFICI regimes and need to report your income accordingly

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to file a tax return if all my income comes from outside Portugal?

What happens if I miss the June 30 deadline?
Failing to submit your return on time can result in late fees and financial penalties. We strongly advise starting the process early to ensure smooth submission.
