The Portuguese Government recently introduced the NHR 2.0 scheme, a new tax incentive aimed at promoting scientific research and innovation. This initiative comes after the end of the Non-Habitual Tax Residence regime and is designed to attract skilled professionals and companies to Portugal by offering significant tax advantages.

In an opinion article for the The Portugal News, Júlia da Costa Ribeiro, Senior Associate in CCA Law Firm’s Private Clients practice, analyses the implications of the NHR 2.0 scheme for scientific and technological advancement in Portugal. Júlia emphasizes that the scheme offers important benefits for skilled professionals and companies, positioning Portugal as a hub for innovation and research.

"The NHR 2.0 scheme is not only a highly favorable initiative aimed at attracting talent and skilled workers to Portugal, but it also seeks to promote the growth of companies within the country," explains the lawyer.
