Viva Culture! Empty streets, closed cafés and restaurants, hotels which give their staff a long winter off, and even beach bars which are disassembled, only to miraculously reappear in the spring, are well-recognised signs of life in a summer tourist destination. Walkers are in their element as they have trails to themselves. Cyclists find […]
BUYER BEWARE! THE GOLDEN VISA BEING SOLD AS A SURE-FIRE SOLUTION to EU RIGHTS POST BREXIT It is perhaps fitting that I found myself writing this article in the air between the UK and the EU. I sit, poised, mid-air, trying to weigh up whether recent changes in the UK or those announced by […]
Tourism Drives Revival in Portuguese Economy Portugal’s tourism revenue grew 12.37% in 2014, according to the National Institute of Statistics (INE), reaching €10.4 billion in revenue and contributing more than €7 to Portugal’s balance of trade.

The Non Habitual Resident law: a Case Study I thought that Börje Forsberg looked tanned and relaxed. Although we had never met before, I assumed that this was because he was now retired to the Algarve. He was quick to confirm my first impressions.

PORTUGAL: TAX HEAVEN TO TAX HELL? What a difference a week makes! A month, well that is life-changing. Three months, an eternity for tax. As recently as six months ago, it was unquestionable that Portugal was among Europe’s best investment destinations. For seniors or retirees, it was the uncontested number 1: a growing economy; falling […]
US Presidential Election: Supercharged Brexit or a Rubicon of Difference? Two days after the US presidential election, the world observed how America deals with democracy in a very different way to the British. A long and intense (and very expensive) presidential campaign was followed by dramatic decision. Universal and bipartisan commitment to the transition to […]

On the day of the referendum, I flew between the two regions. I, like millions of others, stayed up to learn […]
