Re: Duties of a Fiscal Rep

Thanks for the clarification. As an ex-owner I'm happy not to have to deal with this (imho) unwelcome layer of bureaucracy. I made full use of the Portal and the ability to pay taxes etc by direct debit and therefore could see little benefit to me in having a representative. Many of the problems we ...

Re: Returning to Portugal?

That only works if you stay 10 days in Portugal. Even if you do, I suspect the additional cost of hiring (?) a car in Alicante and returning it to Faro will be higher than a PCR test.

It's interesting that vaccination is good enough on arrival to Madeira, according to your link, though quite how they will police it is unclear or whether the airlines will still require a test for boarding.

Re: EDP CHARGES

If the last actual reading (yours or EDP's) was a while ago they will, at the top of page 2, charge for all consumption between the two most recent actual readings. Lower down there will be a Nota de Credito to correct for any previously billed estimated consumption that exceeded your actual consump...

Re: Cecol Accountants

So once IMI is being paid by direct payment/debit (irrespective of how it was set up or by whom) what does the Fiscal Representative do? I take that you're asking what else they do other than deal with the admin caused by collecting fees from you? :wink: I suppose they are exposed to issues if you ...

Re: Cecol Accountants

I imagine that I'm not alone among non-resident property owners in having a Portuguese bank current account paired with a deposit account. The interest earned on the deposit account, although tiny these days, might be enough to make you a (taxable) income earner in Portugal. I know that withholding ...

Re: Cecol Accountants

... Why can't you have the bills posted to you in the UK? I've seen many statements that they will not post to addresses outside the EU (/EEA?). If so, I've no idea where that leaves those registered in the UK but seeking an access password for the Portal das Finanças, if they don't already have a ...

Re: Cecol Accountants

If you already have a fiscal representative, when you try to register at https://www.acesso.gov.pt/unauthed/novoUtilizadorForm? you will have to use the rep's address as that is, effectively, already recorded as your address.

Re: Cecol Accountants

There may be more to it than I think, so do your own research! I doubt that the professionals who will understand these things are going to advertise ways of making their fiscal representation services unnecessary. Unfortunately I can't go through the process at https://eportugal.gov.pt/servicos/ade...
