As someone who appreciates well-organized services, I was genuinely impressed by Touchdown. They helped me obtain my NIF and navigate some rather complex tax requirements for expats in Portugal. The team kept me informed at every stage and handled everything with such professionalism. I'm grateful to have found a service that truly understands the needs of newcomers to Portugal. Ended up saving a whopping 30% in taxes thanks to their international tax team. Really impressive stuff.

So so easy! Thank you guys. I've had endless bad experiences with lawyers over the years, but you somehow made this so straightforward. Did the NHR scheme all from outside Portugal. Recommend to all other digital nomads.

No. Company creation is an separate Touchdown product. If you decide to pursue this path, these are the two products you'll need to purchase.
Yes, the NHR is still available in Portugal: the NHR 2.0 or formally IFICI Regime. It's more restrictive as you must engage in a qualifying professional activity, but unlike the previous NHR, it exempts all foreign income including capital gains and interest.
The tax rate is 20% on working income generated in Portugal, regardless if you are employed in a qualifying role or you run your own company in Portugal that employs you as a manager. In the latter case, you are charged at 20% of profits. Foreign dividends, interest, capital gains and other income is completely tax exempt.
