Investment taxation

We handle the tax treatment of crypto assets, ETFs and shares in Portugal, for residents and non-residents alike: how income is classified, capital gains calculation, holding periods and IRS reporting.

Which income is covered?

  • capital gains on shares and ETFs;
  • dividends from Portuguese and foreign companies;
  • interest and investment income;
  • crypto asset transactions.

How are securities gains taxed?

As a rule, gains on securities are taxed at the applicable special rate, with the option to elect englobamento — aggregation with your other income at progressive rates — where that works out better. Gains and losses for the year are netted before tax applies.

And crypto assets?

TODO-FAQ16: the reference position on crypto assets is being gathered by the client. This section will be completed before go-live.

And dividends from an LDA?

Residents: 28% final withholding, with the option to elect englobamento. Non-residents: withholding under the double tax treaty with your country of residence.
