Hi All, Hope the sun is shining there whatever part you are in - I am looking for some advice on car selling/ transferring.
I visit P three or four times a year and like to have a car to get around. Renting is a pain. I want to buy a runaround and keep it parked at my friend's garage. As far as I can gather, to do this, I need to get a NIF, which would be ok I guess because being a non tax resident, I wouldn't have yearly tax returns costs etc, I really don't need all that.
My friend has a house there, owned by a offshore company he had to buy to get the house, and has offered to have the car transferred into the company and then I would be able to drive it by just having my driver's licence.
I don't know much about offshore companies and Portuguese tax etc but I imagine plenty of tourists have places there done in such ways. I don't want to get my friend into trouble and don't know much about the process in general, but not warming to the NIF idea either (maybe will be other fiscal obligations )...
Any advice very welcome!
