Category B or F? Short-term vs. long-term letting

“Local Lodging” constitutes a commercial activity under Category B as a tourist activity (cae 55201). “Tourist Leasing” (Locação Turística) occurs when the property is ceded to an Operator for the on-going tourist activity (Local Lodging). This concession may be reported under either:

  • Category B: “Commercial letting” (cae 68200) or
  • Category F: “Long-term rental income”. *

* short term: <30 days = tourism; long term: >30 days = rental

5 Options for Foreign Property Holding Companies

Originally registered to buy a property on a

  • ne-off basis, these companies are normally

seen as non-trading corporate entities.

(non-resident without permanent establishment).

Such companies must make changes in their status in order to engage in a Local Lodging business activity.

SLIDE 10

Option nº 1:

“Comodato” (Lending)

A lending contract where the Owner (the Company) lends an asset (the property to be let out under L.L.) to the borrower (“Comodatário”) for a period of time.

How it works: As a non-trading company, ABC Ltd., lends its property to one of its shareholders who exercises the commercial business activity of Local Lodging in his/her personal name (IRS) (cae 55201), taking advantage of favourable taxation under the Simplified Regime (<4%).

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Option nº 2:

“Titular de Exploração”

(Assignment of Activity to an Operator)

The Foreign Company can (“titular de exploração”) assign the local Lodging Activity to an Operator. This activity is taxed at “IRC” corporate tax rates.

Note: Despite the minimal tax rate for tourist activities under the “IRC” Simplified Regime (96% exclusion), only a few companies meet the narrow parameters required. In addition, companies must also pay “PEC” - Pagamento Especial por Conta” (Special Payment on Account) - €1,000

  • minimum. Accounting costs and other overheads also may

vary depending on the type registration of the Company.

SLIDE 12

Option nº 3:

“Secural” (Branch Office)

The Parent Foreign Company sets up a Branch Office

  • a resident corporate entity based in a Portuguese

Permanent Establishment (place of doing business).

 not a legal entity (“sem personalidade jurídica”)  IRC filing of accounts in Portugal required.

How it works: A Parent Foreign Company sets up a Branch Office in Portugal that conducts the Local Lodging business.

 The Company files “IRC” tax declaration.  The Company pays standard corporate tax .

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Options nº 4:

“Subsidiário” (Subsidiary Company)

The Parent Offshore Company creates a subsidiary company (“Limitada”) in Portugal.

 The Parent Company is the sole shareholder;  The Subsidiary runs the local lodging business;  The Subsidiary files IRC accounts in Portugal.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Option nº 5:

“Sociedade Comercial” (Redomicile to a Commercial Company)

 The shareholders of a Foreign Property Company

can redomicile the company to Portugal as a resident “Limitada” without change of ownership.

 As a resident Portuguese Company, the “Limitada”

can conduct the Local Lodging business under Standard Accounts.
