Find the Route That Matches Your Case
These are the most common starting points we see before a Tax Position Review. Each one links to the fuller guide or service page.
The Cross-Border Tax Problems Expats Hit in Portugal
Residency Trigger Confusion
The 183-day rule sounds simple until you realise it is not the only test. Get the start date wrong and you could face full-year worldwide tax exposure.
How We Pin Down Your Start Date
Two Advisors, Zero Coordination
Your home-country accountant says one thing. Your Portugal accountant says another. You are the one facing double taxation when the treaty credits do not match.
How Both Returns Tell One Story
Multi-Stream Income, Unclear Reporting
Pensions, ISAs, RSUs, rental income, crypto, and more. You are unsure how Portugal will tax each stream or what you actually need to report on Anexo J.
How Each Stream Gets Classified
IFICI and NHR Regime Risk
IFICI is Portugal’s incentive regime for qualifying new arrivals; NHR is the older Non-Habitual Resident regime. Application windows close, status needs active defence, and a missed deadline or wrong filing can cost the regime itself.
How We Protect the Regime Position
You Planned the Arrival but Not the Departure
Exit taxes, deemed disposals, pension reporting changes, notification deadlines. Get the departure wrong and you may create problems in both jurisdictions.
How Both Sides Get Planned TogetherNot Sure Where Your Case Breaks?
That is exactly what the review answers. One call, one signed memo, a clear position.

Every Position Is Signed by the Person Who Built It
Telmo Ramos founded Taxbordr in 2022 to take responsibility for the Portugal side of a cross-border case, end to end. He leads Tax Position Reviews and signs Position Memos, supported by a focused cross-border team.

Trusted by People Who Checked First
“Twenty minutes in, Telmo told us our situation didn't warrant his fees and referred us to a local contabilista he trusted. A year later, when my wife started receiving UK pension income, we came back. The fact that he turned us away the first time is the reason we trust him completely now.”
“For three years, my equity compensation was taxed at full progressive rates when treaty credits should have applied. Telmo showed me the gap in the first 30 minutes and sent my CPA a coordination summary with the specific treaty articles.”
“Telmo's consultation laid out three options with the tax impact of each. He could have sold me a company formation. Instead he told me I didn't need one. That's why I've referred four other freelancers to him since.”
