In 2017, HMRC have designed a new plan relative to fiscal policies with the aim to introduce several new tax rules and rates that could have an impact on UK companies and self-employed persons from 2017 onwards.

With the introduction of Portugal’s “Golden Visa” and a special tax regime for “non habitual residents”, Portugal has become a destination of choice for many non-EU nationals.

The Golden Visa enables non-EU residents not only to be resident in Portugal, but also to move freely within the Schengen Zone.  The “Non Habitual Residents Regime” means that they can, in addition, enjoy low taxes, or, in some cases, freedom from taxation in Portugal.
