About BWV - Business & Tax Advisors

BWV Business & Tax Advisors is a Lisbon accounting and tax practice that presents tax and financial advice as its core business. The English-language site targets small and medium companies, start-ups and the Portuguese branches of foreign groups, offering to act as an outsourced accounts department that reports to head office. It also covers foreign entities and individuals through tax representation, VAT refund assistance and analysis of tax consequences for foreigners setting up branches or permanent establishments. The firm discusses the non-habitual resident regime for retirees from northern Europe and the reduced corporate rate available in Madeira's International Business Centre. Corporate secretarial work and ready-made companies complete the offer. Team size, founding year and prices are not stated on the site.
