Disappointing
Context: a 30min. consultation to evaluate relevance and assess possible next steps with Step Inside. Nothing outstanding that we cannot find somewhere else.
The approach is friendly but constantly reminding there is another appointment with someone else after you...
Have been an expatriate 12 years in the past (Belgium and Germany) and have been in touch with much more useful upfront consultations with consultants who really became partners.

Dear Frédéric,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We would like to clarify that all clients always have the option to book a 60-minute consultation if they feel more time is needed. The reminder that the session is 30 minutes is only to ensure that clients stay focused on their key questions, so that no topic of importance is left unaddressed.
It is unfortunate that your review seems to be based on the fact that, for this specific type of income, there are no legal ways to reduce taxation. The rules are very clear in the law and in the applicable tax treaties, and there is no possible loophole to change the outcome.
We believe our consultation provided considerable value: in just 30 minutes, we carried out multiple calculations in Excel with clear scenarios, discussed tax efficiency alternatives regarding your other income streams, and followed up with a detailed email including a full summary and copies of the calculations.
Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion and expectations. We regret that our service did not exceed your very high expectations. However, we respectfully note that the suggestion you could have obtained the same level of accuracy online is unlikely, given the significant lack of reliability still found in AI chatbots and unverified sources.
We would also like to emphasize that the notes and conclusions we shared with you during the meeting are firmly grounded in our professional knowledge of the Portuguese tax legislation, and fully aligned with the applicable legal framework. In fact, during that same meeting you acknowledged that our analysis diverged entirely from the preliminary insights you had obtained using AI tools. That recognition highlights precisely the value we aim to deliver: offering clients professional, lawful, and reliable solutions, often going beyond what is available from online or automated sources. This is why we were surprised by your subsequent remark suggesting that our input could be found elsewhere, since, by your own account, our guidance provided a distinct and more accurate perspective.
We always strive to provide accurate, professional, and lawful advice to protect our clients and deliver real value.
Best regards,
The Step Inside Portugal Team
Outstanding Tax Support — Truly a Lifesaver!
Rita and her team at Step Inside Portugal have been an absolute godsend — I truly cannot recommend them highly enough!
From our very first consultation last year, when we were feeling completely overwhelmed about how to tackle several years of overdue Portuguese tax returns, we knew Rita was the perfect professional to guide us through the process. Her expertise, patience, and clear communication gave us complete confidence that we were in the best possible hands.
Just two weeks ago, we sent her all the necessary documents. Yesterday, we approved the drafts, received proof of delivery, and this morning — to our immense relief — we had confirmation from the tax authority that everything is officially complete.
What a weight off our shoulders! It feels incredible to be fully caught up and, even better, to have a clear plan for staying on track with our filings going forward. Rita and her team have turned what felt like an impossible task into a smooth, stress-free experience.

Thorough, responsive, and easy
Quick, easy, and hands-on support to file our taxes as first-time filers in Portugal. Extremely responsive to all of our questions to understand what would be different than our county's tax filing process. When a question came up from finanças, they were quick to reach out to them directly and resolve it.

Really quick responses
Really quick responses. All of the steps were clearly explained and when I misunderstood something, the issue was resolved really quickly. I could never have registered the car myself in Portugal with all the steps that are required. Can only recommend.

Trustworthy, attentive partners for our taxes
My wife and I connected with Step Inside Portugal through Expacity webinars and their professional services directory. We wanted to get everything right for our first time filing taxes in Portugal as new immigrants from the USA. The professionals at Step Inside Portugal supported us through all the steps, and made everything clear and easy for us. In the end our finances were ridiculously simple for our first year, but there were nuances around Portuguese law for how to report our income that we would not have understood without expert guidance. We lived on savings for the first half of the year, and then on distributions from my State retirement plan's investment account (which we can draw on after separating from employment but before officially retiring). We were grateful for their thorough questions about how the retirement plan's investment fund is managed to be certain it was categorized correctly on our return.
In short: you are in good hands with Step Inside Portugal! They are expert professionals who will answer all of your questions and make all the nuances clear to you. Communications were excellent and trouble-free, primarily by e-mail. I'm sure they take the same care with all of their services, and bring the same high level of conscientious expertise. Highly recommended.

My wife and I are retired Americans living on D7 visas in Portugal, and we didn’t know what to do for our first tax filing here. Our income is from Social Security and investments. Step Inside Portugal made our first tax return in Portugal quick and easy! And it was all done online! They are an excellent company with caring, professional, and trustworthy staff! Communication with them has been easy and they have been responsive to all our questions. We will definitely use them again next year, and for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend trusting your tax returns to Step Inside Portugal! They take the worry away!
