Text of the page (random words):
e the rules become more specific ifici is not available to everyone simply because they decide to move to portugal as a starting point an individual needs to become a portuguese tax resident without having been tax resident in portugal during the previous five years the person must also carry out an activity covered by one of the ifici qualification routes depending on the circumstances these can include professionals working in scientific research higher education technology innovation qualifying startups and certain highly qualified professions for some routes your job is only part of the answer the company you work for can matter too its business activity sector and other requirements can influence whether your position qualifies this means two people with similar careers could move to portugal at the same time and have completely different ifici outcomes simply working in technology or having a senior position does not automatically mean that someone qualifies why does the 20 tax rate matter the 20 rate is naturally the part of ifici that attracts the most attention portugal normally applies progressive personal income tax rates to employment and professional income under ifici qualifying portuguese employment or professional income connected with the eligible activity may instead benefit from the special 20 rate for someone deciding where to base their career this can become an important part of comparing portugal with other countries but there is an important detail ifici does not mean that everything you earn is taxed at 20 different income can receive different treatment someone moving to portugal might have a salary consulting income dividends investments rental income or capital gains those sources of income should not all be treated as if they were the same the headline 20 rate is therefore only one part of the picture what happens to income from outside portugal this question is especially relevant for people who have built their financial lives across several countries you may work for a portuguese company while still owning investments abroad you might run a business outside portugal or perhaps you receive rental income dividends or other income from another country under ifici the majority of foreign source income can generally benefit from an exemption from portuguese personal income tax however there are exceptions pension income is treated differently and special rules can apply to income connected with jurisdictions that portugal considers to have a clearly more favorable tax regime for anyone with an international income structure it is worth understanding how each source of income will be treated rather than assuming that ifici makes all foreign income tax free how is ifici different from the old nhr regime anyone who has been researching portugal for a few years has probably heard of nhr for a long time the non habitual resident regime was one of the best known tax incentives for people moving to portugal ifici takes a different approach the former regime had broader eligibility under ifici your professional activity has become much more important your qualifications the work you perform and in some cases the company or organisation you work for can all determine whether you have access to the regime portugal is effectively focusing the incentive more closely on the people and activities it wants to attract that makes ifici particularly relevant to some researchers founders executives technology professionals and other highly qualified workers it also means that eligibility needs to be checked individually why should you look at ifici before moving tax planning is probably not the most exciting part of preparing for portugal there are neighborhoods to research homes to find and restaurants to add to your list but the date you become portuguese tax resident can matter the ifici benefit is linked to the year in which portuguese tax residency begins and the normal application deadline is 15 january of the following year applying later may still be possible if the requirements are met but the ten year period does not simply restart when the application is submitted that can mean losing some of the years available under the regime so if ifici could be relevant to your profession it makes sense to look at it before the moving boxes are packed from a trip to a life in portugal for many people living in portugal starts with travel a few visits become longer stays longer stays turn into conversations about residency eventually portugal starts to feel less like somewhere you visit and more like somewhere you could call home if you are already thinking about the longer term gypsynester has also looked at the journey to portuguese citizenship another part of the story for people considering a future in portugal but there are plenty of decisions to make before reaching that stage tax residency is one of them ifici will not be relevant to everyone moving to portugal but for the international professionals it was designed to attract understanding the regime before relocating can make a meaningful difference portugal may first win you over with a holiday if you decide to stay understanding what happens next is what turns the idea into a plan delve deeper tags europe moving travel driving an older car on a road trip 7 simple upgrades that make travel easier an older car can remain a comfortable road trip companion when its mechanical condition and equipment match the way you travel today the goal is a familiar vehicle that feels easier to use from the moment you leave the driveway until the final parking spot of the trip continue reading there is something reassuring about taking a road trip in a car you already know well you know how it feels on the highway how much luggage it can carry where everything fits and which little noises are simply part of its personality for many travelers especially those who have owned the same vehicle for years keeping a dependable older car can make more sense than replacing it simply to gain newer technology the most useful approach is to upgrade the parts of the driving experience that create the most friction on a long trip a good order is simple reliability first visibility second comfort and convenience third here are seven upgrades and checks that can make an older car easier to travel with 1 start with the mechanical basics before adding technology make sure the car is ready for several hours of continuous driving have the battery tires brakes cooling system belts hoses lights and fluids checked pay particular attention to maintenance intervals that may arrive during the trip a component that seems fine during short local drives can behave differently after hours of highway use summer heat mountain climbs or stop and go traffic completing scheduled maintenance before departure also gives you time to deal with any repairs at home instead of searching for a shop in an unfamiliar town 2 improve rear visibility older cars often have smaller mirrors larger blind areas and fewer factory installed camera systems than current vehicles those limitations become more noticeable during a road trip hotel parking lots crowded attractions campsites scenic pullouts and unfamiliar driveways may all require more reversing and low speed maneuvering than a normal commute adding a wireless backup camera can provide an additional view behind the vehicle while avoiding a long video cable run through the cabin install and test the system before traveling so you have time to become familiar with the screen and camera angle 3 keep the dashboard simple adding technology can quickly turn an older dashboard into a collection of screens mounts cables and adapters a cleaner setup is usually easier to live with on a long drive for drivers who want additional rear visibility without adding another standalone monitor to the dashboard a rear view mirror camera can place the display in an area the driver already uses naturally whatever setup you choose make sure screens and mounts do not obstruct the windshield or interfere with vehicle controls 4 make navigation easier to use modern navigation is one of the simplest improvements you can bring to an older vehicle a secure phone mount or an aftermarket system with smartphone integration can make maps traffic information fuel stops hotels and restaurants easier to access set up your preferred navigation apps before departure and download offline maps for areas where mobile coverage may be limited it is also worth saving your first few stops in advance reducing decisions while driving makes the journey more relaxed 5 add enough charging capacity road trips tend to involve more electronics than everyday driving phones may be running navigation for hours passengers may have tablets cameras watches or other devices that need charging an older car with a single 12 volt outlet can quickly feel outdated a quality multi port charger or properly installed usb charging points can solve the problem with very little modification secure cables so they stay away from pedals shifters and other controls 6 improve long distance comfort a seat that feels perfectly acceptable during a 20 minute drive can become uncomfortable after three hours before the trip experiment with seat height backrest angle steering wheel position and lumbar support small additions such as a supportive cushion can make a meaningful difference climate control deserves attention as well make sure the air conditioning and heating systems work properly before setting out especially when the itinerary crosses several climates plan regular stops to stretch walk around hydrate and switch drivers when possible 7 build a simple roadside kit even a well maintained vehicle can have an unexpected problem carry a basic kit with items such as tire inflator and pressure gauge flashlight charging cable or power bank basic tools first aid supplies drinking water warning triangle or reflective gear roadside assistance information check the spare tire too a spare that has been sitting unused for years may need attention before it can be relied on upgrade the parts of the trip you actually use an older car can remain a comfortable road trip companion when its mechanical condition and equipment match the way you travel today start with reliability improve the areas that affect visibility and maneuvering then add the navigation charging and comfort features that make long days behind the wheel easier the goal is a familiar vehicle that feels easier to use from the moment you leave the driveway until the final parking spot of the trip delve deeper tags cars driving ground level travel travel adults only holidays in mallorca why choose
