Hi — I'm buying a €480k flat in Lisbon and I'm a non-EU citizen. What taxes should I budget for, and do I need a fiscal representative before signing?
09:02
Hello Alex, thanks for reaching out through Brisamo. Happy to walk you through it. For a €480k purchase you'll pay IMT (transfer tax on a sliding scale) plus stamp duty at 0.8%, both due before the deed.
09:12
As a non-resident buyer you'll also need a Portuguese NIF, and until you hold EU residency a fiscal representative is typically required. We can act in that role and coordinate the whole closing.
09:13
That's really helpful. Could we set up a short call this week to go through the numbers?
09:20
Of course — I've opened a few slots on your Brisamo calendar. A 30-minute intro call is free of charge.
