Sample Report Excerpt
🇵🇹 Portugal: NHR Assessment
Spending more than 183 days in Portugal generally triggers tax residency under domestic rules. For someone enrolled in the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime, foreign-source income can be exempt from Portuguese tax for up to 10 years, which is the kind of thing to confirm with a professional.
🇺🇸 United States: FEIE Check
US citizens generally must file a federal return wherever they live. Freelance income around $74,000 can often be covered by the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion ($126,500 limit for 2024), the kind of relief to confirm with a professional.
Questions to bring to a professional
1. Is your NHR registration with Finanças in order?
2. Does Form 2555 (FEIE) apply alongside your US 1040?
3. Is a Portuguese tax return required for your income mix?

"I already knew about US filing but had no idea how Germany's rules worked. The report explained a treaty provision I'd never heard of, so I walked into my accountant call already understanding the basics."

"The disclaimer is honest: it's not tax advice. But it's exactly the right level of information to have a real conversation with an accountant. Way better than Googling for 3 hours."

What you're probably wondering

No, and we're upfront about that. Every report carries a clear disclaimer: this is educational information, not professional tax advice. Think of it as a smart starting point that helps you understand what questions to ask, which rules to look into, and how complex your situation is, so you can have a more informed conversation with a qualified professional.
Every country in the world. Each report is generated based on the specific countries in your situation, so whether you're dealing with Portugal, Thailand, UAE, Germany, or anywhere else, your report explains the rules that generally apply to a situation like yours.
The reports are built from general tax residency rules and treaty information, written to help you understand how those rules tend to work for situations like yours. Tax law is complex and country rules change often, so a report is a research starting point, not a final answer or a statement of your personal position. For anything significant, or where a situation is genuinely ambiguous, confirm it with a qualified professional.
