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,
