1. Do I really need to register as self‑employed to sell online or do occasional services?

Yes. Even if it’s occasional, if you’re earning income, you must register your activity with the Tax Authority. There are simplified options, and we can guide you at each step.

2. What type of company should I open: sole trader or Lda?

It depends on your activity level, responsibilities, and future plans. We recommend a meeting to analyze your specific case.

3. Can I start as self‑employed and later switch to a company?

Of course. It’s a common path. We can help you make that transition at the right time.

4. I’m an employee. Do I need help with IRS?

Yes — especially if you have children, properties, investments, or pensions. Filing may seem simple, but there are many details that can affect your refund or create errors.

5. I inherited a property. Do I have to declare it?

Yes. Inheritances and capital gains must be handled carefully to avoid tax problems. We explain everything and take care of it for you.

6. How do I know if I’m entitled to any tax benefits?

We analyze your case and identify all the benefits you’re entitled to, so you avoid paying unnecessary taxes.

7. Do I have to file VAT even if I issued no invoices?

Yes. The obligation exists even with no activity. Not filing can lead to fines/penalties.

8. I work with “recibos verdes”. Do I have to pay Social Security?

Yes — and it depends on your income. Depending on your situation, the reporting/payment can be quarterly.

9. Do I have to hire someone to handle my company’s accounting?

It depends on the structure. If you have a limited company or issue VAT invoices, it’s highly recommended to have certified accounting support.

10. Can I book just a one‑off consultation without a monthly service?

Yes. We offer ad‑hoc consulting to clarify questions or guide one‑off decisions.
