The state has a flat tax rate of 25% (offshore zones are not taken into account).
All taxes are paid in advance installments (4 installments are required per year).
Corporate income tax is levied on the profits of resident companies received in other countries. The tax on income is 21%. In addition, other surcharges are also added to this rate.
Organizing any business in this country is a strategic step for any businessman, regardless of location on the planet. It is also an opportunity to obtain a residence permit, which can be considered the final step in the process.
To establish a business, it is necessary to obtain an official paper that allows people from countries other than the EU to reside, legally work in the jurisdiction. This is an important requirement for individuals who plan to open a company in Portugal, to invest in the development of the country. The obtained permission offers businessmen different benefits, for example, to receive education, treatment, social services and so on.
