Representation offshore

Representation offshore

In December 2001, the Portuguese Parliament enacted new tax measurements directed against Offshore Property Companies. One of the requirements for “non-resident companies without permanent establishment” is to appoint a fiscal representative in Portugal. For many of my clients who I have advised in the past I have complied with the obligation to register their company with the local tax department in which your property is located.

As your fiscal representative, my service includes:

  • Resourcing accurate and current information in Portugal for Beneficial owners regarding offshore company obligations as well as relevant legislation.
  • Most of the above-mentioned info will be made available to you on 2 specially dedicated web-sites www.realestate-algarve.info and www.realestate-activities.com
  • Clarification of pertinent procedures and interpretations with Finançes
  • Communications liaison between Finançes and the Offshore Property Company
  • Reporting to Beneficial Owners and to Directors regarding Company status in Portugal
  • Acting as agent.

Please note that each owner may have individual requirements, therefore no 2 situations are identical.
