Hi all,
I intend on arriving in July 2022 which is just short of the 183 day tax residency rule. In terms of being regarded as tax resident, does this rule carry much weight? Or are other factors like having a 6/12 month lease and having proof of moving my home to Portugal more important?
I am currently a tax resident in the UK and I intend on applying for split year tax treatment. I am concerned that something as simple as not living in Portugal for at least 6 months in the Portuguese calendar tax year may mean I end up not allowed to split my tax year and in turn be tax resident in the UK and Portugal for the next year.
Has anyone had to deal with this?
Thank you very much,
Ian
