Moving from the UK to Portugal
Relocating to Portugal
Individuals considering a move from the UK to Portugal should consider the tax and wider cross-border consequences of changing residence, including the timing of the move and the treatment of existing income, assets and business interests.
Maintaining UK interests after moving
A move to Portugal does not necessarily end an individual's UK tax considerations. UK property, employment, investments, companies and other continuing connections may require coordinated advice across both jurisdictions.
Entrepreneurs moving to Portugal
Business owners may have additional considerations where their companies, remuneration, investments or management responsibilities remain connected with the UK after relocation.

UK–Portugal cross-border questions
What should I consider before moving from the UK to Portugal?
The timing of the move, tax residence, UK assets and income, business interests and future reporting obligations may all need to be considered across both countries.
Can I remain connected to a UK business after moving to Portugal?
Yes, but continuing ownership, employment or management responsibilities can create cross-border tax considerations for both the individual and potentially the business.
Can a Portuguese resident own or establish a UK company?
Yes. The appropriate personal, corporate and cross-border tax position depends on how the business is owned, managed and operated and on the individual's wider circumstances.
Can income be taxable in both Portugal and the UK?
Cross-border circumstances can give more than one country taxing rights over particular income. Domestic rules and the applicable double tax treaty need to be considered together.
Can Fenton coordinate UK and Portuguese advice?
The UK–Portugal corridor is designed to bring relevant Portuguese specialist experience together with Fenton's UK cross-border advisory perspective where circumstances involve both countries.
