O estatuto de Residente Não Habitual, também conhecido como RNH Portugal, é um enquadramento fiscal associado à transferência de residência fiscal para Portugal, com regras próprias de tributação para determinados rendimentos e perfis de contribuintes.
O regime sofreu alterações legislativas relevantes, pelo que a análise do enquadramento atual deve ser feita caso a caso. Continua, no entanto, a ser um tema importante para beneficiários já inscritos e para quem pretende avaliar o impacto das regras atualmente em vigor ou dos regimes que vieram suceder-lhe.
Podem necessitar de apoio jurídico e fiscal cidadãos estrangeiros, portugueses regressados, investidores, profissionais deslocados e pessoas que pretendam mudar a sua residência fiscal para Portugal e avaliar o respetivo enquadramento tributário.
A análise é particularmente relevante quando está em causa a mudança de residência fiscal para Portugal, a tributação de rendimentos obtidos no estrangeiro, o enquadramento de atividade profissional em Portugal, o planeamento fiscal de novos residentes ou a articulação entre residência, investimento e património.
The firm provides legal support to both individuals and businesses across a wide range of practice areas, including civil, tax, real estate, commercial, corporate, employment, family, criminal, and administrative law, among others. In many cases, legal assistance goes beyond court proceedings and may also include contract review, dispute prevention, document regularization, negotiations, legal opinions, and strategic guidance before any important decision is made. When a matter requires more specific legal analysis, the best approach is to briefly present the situation so the firm can assess whether it falls within its areas of practice and determine the most suitable form of legal support.
Appointments can be scheduled through the contact details available on the website, namely by phone, email, or contact form. During the initial contact, the aim is to gain a general understanding of the nature of the matter, the urgency of the situation, and whether it is appropriate to proceed with a legal consultation. During the consultation itself, an initial assessment of the case is carried out, including the available documents, potential risks, legal options, and possible next steps. This stage is important because it allows the client to better understand their position and make decisions with greater confidence and clarity.
Legal fees always depend on the nature of the matter, the level of complexity involved, the time required, the urgency of the situation, the volume of documentation, and the type of legal support requested. In some cases, the client may only require a consultation or a one-time legal assessment, while other matters may require ongoing assistance involving multiple procedures, meetings, negotiations, or court intervention. For this reason, fees can only be accurately determined once there is a sufficient understanding of the case. The most important thing is that the client understands, from an early stage, how the service may be provided and under which conditions.
Yes. Whenever the nature of the matter allows it, legal support can be provided remotely through video calls, telephone, email, and digital document sharing. This option is especially useful for clients living outside Portugal, emigrants, foreign investors, or individuals who, for professional or personal reasons, are unable to attend the office in person. Depending on the type of matter involved, it may also be possible to act through a power of attorney and handle the case in Portugal without requiring the client’s constant physical presence.
You should gather all documents directly related to the matter in question, such as contracts, notifications, letters, emails, certificates, decisions, proof of payment, records, identification documents, and any other materials that may help clarify the facts accurately. The clearer and more complete the documentation provided, the more useful and objective the initial assessment will be. Whenever possible, it is advisable to send the most relevant documents in advance, as this allows for better preparation ahead of the consultation and reduces the risk of important information being overlooked.
