Do I still need a Portuguese fiscal representative once my NIF is issued?
I live outside the EU. When can the representative be removed, and what happens if they resign?

When you obtain your residence authorisation in Portugal but remain a non-tax resident, you are generally required to appoint a tax representative in Portugal to manage communications between you and the Portuguese Tax Authority.
It may be possible to waive this requirement by activating electronic notifications through your Portuguese Tax Authority portal. However, the easiest, safest and most straightforward approach is generally to appoint someone in Portugal as your tax representative.
Once you become a Portuguese tax resident and update your tax status accordingly, you will no longer need to maintain tax representation in Portugal.
