Thinking of Selling Your Property in Portugal?

For owners of high-value Portuguese property, the decision to sell can create significant tax, investment and cross-border planning considerations - particularly where the sale forms part of a wider change in residency, retirement or wealth strategy.

Drawing on three real client case studies, ranging from €2 million to €25 million, we will look at the different paths owners take after a sale - some staying in Portugal, some returning to the UK, others moving on elsewhere - and show how the right combination of planning can preserve capital, manage tax exposure, and structure wealth for the future.

Topics will include:

Reducing or eliminating Portuguese Capital Gains Tax through appropriate pre-sale and reinvestment planning
Offshore entities, corporate structures and international planning
Private banking in Switzerland and the role of HNW Lombard lending in sophisticated wealth and tax planning for further tax efficiency when selling Portuguese property
The end of Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) status, and planning for those approaching the end of their NHR period
Leaving Portugal and repatriation planning, including key financial and tax considerations before changing residency
Coordinating your professional advisers - bringing together financial advisers, lawyers, accountants, estate agents and private banks as part of one strategy

The Evening

Guests will be welcomed from 6:30pm with Champagne, wine, beer and canapés, followed by a short presentation built around our three client case studies.

The formal presentation will be kept deliberately brief, leaving plenty of time afterwards for drinks, introductions and informal conversation with our professional partners and fellow guests.

Attendance

Attendance is complimentary but strictly limited and available by registration or invitation only. Places will be confirmed on a first-come basis, so early registration is recommended.

Dress Code

Smart casual. The goal is a relaxed and enjoyable evening, not a formal seminar.
