Portugal

Before you incorporate

Registering as self-employed and incorporating a company are different routes. The choice depends on how your business actually operates. A Portuguese company alone does not determine your tax residence or the treatment of every source of income.

Information to gather

• Your country of residence and where you actually work.
• A description of the services or products you sell.
• Whether your customers are businesses or individuals, and their countries.
• Any shareholders, existing business structure and your planned timing.
