Anne asked 5 years ago Hi Blanca:
This question may be too technical, so I understand if it is not something you can answer.
I'm thinking about retiring to Portugal in a few years. I'm an American and will be receiving U.S. Social Security retirement income every month. I know I can have it direct deposited to a bank account in Portugal, so that won't be a problem.
But I have not been able to find out if I will owe personal income tax to Portugal on my U.S. social security retirement income. I know I will need to file an income tax form with the U.S. every year, but what about Portugal? Does Non Habitual Residence status treat U.S. Social Security retirement income as a pension and exclude it from taxation? The information I've found so far has been confusing.
Thank you,
Anne
