If individual taxation used to be little complex in the past, we face times where a set of new concerns have arisen with regard to individual tax burden, due to the fact that Governments need more and more to increase the receipts derived from individuals income and also due to the greater mobility of current generations.
In fact, the complexity of the current tax regime, the multiplicity of the source and the type of income received and the constant changes in what regards social security, have been creating new constraints, which require an expert analysis, in order to be possible to take conscientious decisions towards tax optimisation scenarios for individuals and families.
As a result of the increase of requests from individuals that wish to permanently or temporarily change their address to Portugal or even from people that wish to live abroad, FSO Consultores have created a business line called “Individual Tax Affairs”.
Our goal is, thus, to provide specialised support in all issues related to personal taxation, helping individuals and families in their decisions of changing their country of residence, in the compliance of tax obligations, in dealing with circumstances of donations and inheritance of assets and all types of situations that occur during each person’s professional and personal life.
