Portugal is one of the top markets in the world for real estate investment. The Portuguese real estate market is fast growing due to a number of reasons such as growing immigration especially of high net worth individuals into Portugal. A lot of foreigners have been moving into Portugal from all across the globe including countries such as USA, Canada, United Kingdom, South Africa, Scandinavia, Russia, Ukraine, India, UAE, China, Brazil and other Portuguese speaking countries. People are moving to Portugal for the high quality of life, affordable living, warm moderate weather, year round tourist activities as well as the booming real estate markets. Portugal is also a thriving destination due to the NHR (Non Habitual Resident) Program that has attracted a lot of millionaires from all over the world to make it their primary residence and avail the attractive tax benefits available in the country

The Portuguese real estate market is also growing due to shortage of housing in the country. As such any new real estate development gets absorbed by the local population due to lack of housing supply in the country. Most locals and foreigners in Portugal are looking to upgrade their houses to bigger houses with more green areas as well as cheaper housing as housing prices are getting unaffordable due to global inflation

Portugal has a special tax program and regime called the Non-Habitual Residents (NHR) program. Under the NHR Program in Portugal, a special tax rate of 20% applicable to employment and self-employment income. 

A tax exemption (with progression) on foreign-source income (e.g. professional income, rental income, capital gains, interest, dividends, as well as other investment income), provided certain conditions are met.

In most cases, capital gains on the sale of securities are taxable at a flat rate of 28%.
A flat tax rate of 10% on pensions from a foreign source, as well as to other payments from pension funds and similar retirement schemes.

An individual who is approved for the NHR scheme can avail the above benefits during a 10-year period starting from the year of their registration as tax resident of Portugal. Post year 10, individuals then become eligible for the normal taxation for Portugal residents without any special benefits
