Claiming and keeping NHR while tax resident in two countries

For you to want the NHR, you must have a value-added profession, right? As I've already said, nothing is known yet about the intention to end the NHR. It will probably only be for pensioners. Nothing has been said about the rest of the NHR. Where did you read that tax payments in Portugal would be zero?  Inform yourself properly...

With NHR, a special tax rate of 20% applicable to employment and self-employment income derived from a “high value-added activities”.

@JohnnyPT If  he's earning via passive income  such as dividends,  it would be zero right?

As @Rob Evans suggested, I earn money through dividends (I own a business), and my intention was to move to Portugal for its investment opportunities and lifestyle change (for what it's worth, I have little to no interest in real estate).

But more generally, I'm asking outside the context of the NHR ending. I'm just finding myself in a very odd situation where I want to voluntarily (temporarily) waive the rights of a double-tax treaty.

I suspect that someone on this forum may have found themselves moving too early too, and could have ended up in a similar situation.

Yes, for NHR there is a tax exemption on foreign-source income (e.g. professional income, rental income, capital gains, interest, dividends, as well as other investment income), provided certain conditions are met.

Regarding the changes to the NHR, wait a few more days for more information.

Sometimes politicians say things, cause a buzz and then nothing happens...

lol - I totally agree with you about political statements , but since this is such a critical part of my life plan, I'm trying to prepare for any situation, however unlikely. The first step is always to gather the most information possible.

@JohnnyPT

That's an excellent post you wrote. Thank you.

I actually am about to speak to some lawyers. Just wanted to tackle this problem from multiple angles.

@Tim_Y You must pay taxes in your country of origin while being a NHR tax resident in Portugal. The whole idea of not paying taxes in Portugal is that they let you live there as if you were living and paying taxes still in your original country. It's not that you just don't pay taxes. You do, just not in Portugal.
