NHR Status: Non Habitual Resident<\/h2>\n

This very advantageous status is part of the measures taken by the Portuguese government in 2009 to encourage real estate investment in the country: exemption from pension tax, business and professional income, investment gains, participations, dividends, property income and capital gains from a foreign source in Portugal.<\/p>\n

Obtaining the status of Non Habitual Resident (NHR) in Portugal will allow you to benefit from an advantageous taxation on your foreign source income. However, you may also be exempt from taxation both in Portugal and in the country where the income comes from. This status also offers a special tax rate of 20% on income from high value-added activities. Find out more about these high value added activities<\/a> in our dedicated article.<\/p>\n

A status that is not only advantageous but also valid for 10 years. Its duration is interesting but this RNH status cannot be renewed.<\/p>\n
