Property Rental Income Tax guidelines for non-residents
If you are a non-resident in Portugal, you will be charged the flat rate of 28% which must be deduced from your gross rent through your letting agent. Maintenance and Municipal Property Tax (IMI) should be deducted from your rental income with the correct documentation.
If you are a UK resident, you will also pay tax in the UK so you are able to offset the tax paid in Portugal to avoid paying double taxation fees.
Don’t miss the deadline
