RHJ Accountants

About RHJ Accountants

Cross-border tax and accountancy practice that serves expatriates and internationally active business owners, working entirely in English. Its Portuguese team sits in Porto and Lisbon, and the wider group also has offices in the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Malta and Dubai, so clients moving between these jurisdictions can be served in a coordinated way. The Portuguese offer covers personal tax filings for foreign residents, the IFICI regime that replaced the non-habitual resident scheme, tax number and social security registration, fiscal representation, freelancer set-up and local-accommodation licences. For companies it combines day-to-day accounting with incorporation support in several countries. The practice works alongside a sister law firm for legal and immigration matters. Its website also covers pre-move tax reviews for people leaving the UK, US expat tax returns, UAE trade licences and Cyprus non-dom status.
