INLIS Consulting – Your Trusted Partner in Tax Return Optimization
Have you already filed your tax return in Portugal this year? Or did you entrust it to a professional and consider the job done?
What if we told you that a targeted second reading could uncover significant savings — even when your return was handled by an expert?
Real Results from Real People
At INLIS Consulting, we’ve helped numerous clients this year review and revise tax returns that were already filed, and the outcomes have often been eye-opening. In several cases, taxpayers recovered:
€3,000
€6,000
Up to €10,000
All through legitimate corrections and adjustments, not creative accounting, just a deeper understanding of the law.
Why Recheck Your Return?
Even seasoned professionals can overlook some of the nuances of Portugal’s complex and evolving tax landscape — especially when it involves international income, special regimes, or deductible categories. That’s where a second pair of eyes can make all the difference.
Here are some of the most common areas where we’ve identified issues or missed opportunities:
✅ Misclassified Income
Foreign pensions, capital gains, or exceptional income are often placed in the wrong category — leading to unnecessary tax exposure.
✅ Undeclared Deductions
Health expenses, education costs, or deductible invoices sometimes aren’t correctly integrated — or left out altogether.
✅ Underused Tax Regimes
From Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) status to double taxation agreements, we often find unclaimed benefits or incorrect applications that result in clients paying more than necessary.
It’s Not About Blame — It’s About Clarity
We don’t point fingers — we enhance your understanding. Our goal is to make sure you’re taking full advantage of every right and benefit the Portuguese tax code allows.
