a very good question, which I don't have answers for.
I am inclined to ask, 'if buying property in portugal as investment, and as a company, do you HAVE to set up a portuguese company' and if not, and it is possible as a UK company, how does this work with tax?
i've been inclined to think that companies operating on portuguese soil either have to be portuguese companies, or the uk company has to pay portuguese tax on profits generated in portugal.
but, i'd guess that nothing is simple. european law probably says one thing while UK and portuguese law probably says two other things
but i'd very much like to find out more - if anyone here has the answer?
