Accountants and cross-border fiscal advisors
Portuguese accountants with cross-border tax expertise for foreign buyers relocating to or investing in Madeira. IFICI registration, double-tax treaty analysis, IBC Madeira (CINM) structuring for qualifying scenarios.
Cross-border fiscal advice for a Madeira buyer is more than filing Portuguese IRS returns. It covers the interaction between your home-country tax residence (and exit rules - DE has particularly sharp exit-tax rules), the double-tax treaty with Portugal, the IFICI regime design, and - where applicable - an IBC Madeira corporate wrapper.
Typical engagements start at €400–€1,200 for a scoping review and scale with structure complexity. For IBC Madeira work, expect €2,000+ for setup advice and ongoing annual compliance billed separately. Good advisors will tell you early if your scenario does not justify the complexity - simple IRS filing under the regular progressive schedule can be the right answer.
