+1 (888) 647 05 40Trusts are quite complex organizations in terms of legal features of their formation, establishment and licensing. Portugal’s tax regime, particularly for non-resident or non-resident investors, has been praised by businesses for its ability to engage investments from non-residents and by capital owners seeking an efficient tax haven. However, behind the favorable tax treatment lies a more complex and potentially legally fraught tax system for foreign trusts that merits closer examination. Below we will consider peculiarities of the launching and functioning of trust structures in this jurisdiction, as well as key aspects of getting a trust license in Portugal.

Separately, taxation issues for such a business-project in Portugal should be borne in mind, since for this jurisdiction this is a rather complex and complex issue. Portuguese Tax Code defines the specific circumstances when income from trusts and “trust structures” is subject to tax. This includes payments made from such firms, as well as amounts received by individuals upon the liquidation, revocation or termination of these trusts. The financial implications are profound and multifaceted, affecting both the owners of the property held by the trust and the beneficiaries.
Founders of such a business-project need to note that amounts received as a result of the dissolution and trust termination are taxed as capital increases. This tax-rate is 28% or even 35% if the trust is registered in a jurisdiction blacklisted by Portuguese authoritative bodies. Tax-rate underscores a growing trend among countries to clamp down on what they perceive as tax avoidance strategies, especially for those businesses registered in so-called tax havens.
For many years, trusts have been and continue to be a convenient and most beneficial means of managing other peoples’ funds. There are many options available for assets transferring into trust or use within framework of Portugal trust law, and regulations of controlling and supervising private monetary means and property.
Key feature of trusts in Portugal is that decisions regarding underlying funds and their disposal are made only by the directors in arrangement and cooperation with the owners of these funds or estate. However, it’s worth considering that the transfer of excessive powers to dispose of assets may have consequences in the form of an increased tax burden. The most common solution to this problem is to own the client’s assets through a trust, which creates additional layers of control.
