Good day everyone my name聽 is Gordon and I am a Canadian that is planning a retirement/semi retired move to Portugal in Jan of 2024.聽 So I am looking for advice on contacts of experts to advise Canadians on residency and tax implications for Portugal.聽 I am presently working in the Middle East and have been a non-resident in Canada for almost 20 years so that is to add to the complexity.聽 I do receive a military pension and it seems from some of the info that I have read that that is open to be taxed additionally as well in Portugal.聽 One of my other concerns is my income that I have made in the Middle East is that open for tax implications as well.聽 . In addition, I would like to clarify聽 the pro's and con's of being semi-retired vs retired.聽 I have a vision of establishing a small consultancy in Portugal to keep me fufilled.聽 Many thanks for your advice
