Update your tax address

Tax add​res​s

Your tax address (domicílio fiscal) is the place where you habitually reside.

Keep your address updated. All correspondence from the Tax and Customs Authority (AT) is send to the address registered in your tax file. If you are considered non-resident in Portugal and have appointed a tax representative, your tax address corresponds to your representative's address. 

If you change your address without a change of tax residence status, you have 15 days to report this change to AT.
