IFICI (RNH 2.0): The New Tax Regime for Working in Portugal

IFICI is the tax regime for professionals setting up practice in Portugal. It is selective, but it remains very attractive. The good news is that the most important steps are taken before you move there, and that’s where we can help you.

  • 20% tax on your eligible professional income in Portugal.
     
  • 0% tax in Portugal on your passive income from foreign sources (dividends, interest, rent, capital gains). This income remains taxable in its country of origin under the tax treaty between France and Portugal, (no double taxation).
     
  • A 10-year term

This program is intended for self-employed, freelancers, independent pro, executives, and managers who come to work in a value-added capacity.

It’s not enough to simply state your profession; you must demonstrate how your business fits into this framework. For a genuine project, this is entirely feasible, provided you present it effectively.

How it works, in 3 steps

  1. We’ll verify your eligibility — your business activity, professional background, the documentation you need
  2. We’ll design your application : description of your activity, supporting documents, alignment with your business plan
  3. We’ll submit it and monitor the process. It must be submitted before mid-January of the previous year you established

The sooner you start, the easier it will be.

Should you get help?

You can design the application on your own. The former RNH was administered through a single point of contact, whereas the IFICI program has several entry points. Every aspect matters: how you describe your business, the legal structure, your growth objectives, the supporting documentation, and the right time to submit the file.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ - Your Most Frequently Asked Questions

Is innovation a must?

Yes, that's the core of the diet. But it takes many different forms, and many activities involve more of it than people realize.

A business plan, contracts and documents that demonstrate the innovative or international nature of your business. The appropriate supporting documents will depend on your project.

Can I design my application on my own?

Yes, it’s perfectly possible. This support helps you, above all, to avoid wasting time preparing your application, to avoid certain strategic mistakes, and to manage the procedures—many of which are completed online, meaning without human contact. There’s no reason for alarm, if you can handle the situation.

How long does it take to prepare the application?

It depends on your starting point and your project. We'll provide you with a realistic estimate during the assessment.

When should I start?

As soon as you've decided to move to Portugal—ideally before you move.

Let's talk about your project
