Portugal Dates of filing Returns / Reporting and Payment

The tax year ends on 31 December in Portugal.

The Portuguese fiscal year for individuals is the calendar year and Portuguese residents are required to file an annual tax return between March and May each year, as per information provided previously.

Married taxpayers are required to file a joint tax return as long as one of the spouses is considered Portuguese resident for tax purposes.

If one spouse does not spend more than 183 days in relevant year in Portugal and proves that there is no connection between his/her economical activity and Portugal (as mentioned above), the resident spouse may file a tax return (only including his/her personal income received) as a separated individual.

Withholding tax levied on most income is deemed as payment on account of year-ends tax liability and taken into consideration in the annual assessment. The final tax assessment has to be issued on the following deadlines:


up to 31 July, if the tax return is submitted:


from 1 March to 31 March, if the tax return is filed in paper and if only employment and/or pension was received or


from 1 April to 30 April, if the tax return is submitted through the Internet and if only employment and/or pension income was received.
up to 31 July, if the tax return is submitted:


from 1 April to 30 April, if the tax return is filed in paper and if other type of income was received or
