Moving OUT of Portugal, BACK to the UK

Colin_Tina

Having lived in Portugal for around 4 years, I regret my employers have now insisted I move back to the UK.

I have sold my house in Portugal and found a courier to bring back the personal belongings I took out there 4 years ago but have discovered a potential problem.

My partner believes you are charging an EXPORT tax on personal goods being taken OUT of Portugal and despite my best efforts, I cannot find anything about this on the internet?

Fortunately, I have sold most of my furniture in with the house but there are a few items I took to Portugal that I would like to bring back such as a dining table and chairs, book case and wardrobe as well as my clothes, books, games, TV and so on.

I am not concerned with any IMPORT tax the UK may charge (as it is a Transfer of Residence so is exempt) but am worried about any charges Portugal may make to let me leave with my belongings so if this is the case, I would be grateful if you could post a link to any websites that might explain this to me and tell me what forms, if any, I need complete to allow my couriers to leave Portugal?

Many thanks,

Oh, in which part of Portugal were you living in ? I hope your house had time to appreciate and if yes, was there a capital gain tax to pay ?

Well, if nobody asks you to pay anything for the rest, don't do anything.

I would have thought a Portuguese removal company would know.

No export tax, but you may have an import tax from UK side.
