How to get the TAX ID or NIF
Here's an outline of our process:
1. Sign Power of Attorney
2. We submit your request to the Portuguese tax office
3. Receive your NIF
4. You will receive an email containing your NIF number.
4. The NIF document will act as your proof of NIF anytime anyone asks you for it.
5. Receive your password for the Financas website
We will request the password for you, which will be mailed to you.
This takes about 3-4 weeks since the password is sent by mail.
6. Update your Portuguese address & cancel our tax representation services
Once you have become a Portugal tax resident, you can update your address with the tax office to cancel our tax representation
We include 12 months of fiscal representation when you order your NIF.
At the end of those 12 months, your fiscal representation will automatically be renewed.
