Tax questions are best answered by a tax professional, but here is my understanding after a number of years here and from a painful reading of the tax treaty,

The US Portugal tax treaty only protects pensions from the government that result from direct employment. This doesn't include things like social security and disability payments. You will be taxed at a flat 10% in Portugal if you correctly sign up for NHR and it will be credited against your US taxes. This lasts for ten years and then you will be taxed at the normal Portugal tax rates.

Hi,

So, would US military service be considered gov't employment and the related pension received after retirement of 20yrs fall in that category (if you know).

I asked this in another post but is NHR applied for once or annually? Does one file a PT return each year or if NHR approved, not file for 10 yrs?

Hi. I consulted with a Portuguese accountant. I receive a pension from the city of Miami. I was told that it would not be taxed. My SS will be. Hope this helps but, I second the advice of speaking with a Portuguese accountant. Good luck!)
