Circular Letter no. 90054 of 6 June defined that appointment of a tax representative was mandatory if, after the allocation of a taxpayer number as a non-resident and as a resident in a third country, the taxpayer became subject to a tax legal relationship in Portugal. In a nutshell, anyone holding a NIF (Portuguese tax number) but with tax residence in another country, or who has been out of Portugal for more than six months, must appoint an in-country representative. (This is optional for EU or European Economic Space residents (EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein).)
Circular Letter no. 90057 of 20 July states an alternative and provides clarity.
