We are doing our Portuguese taxes for the first time and we want to hire an accountant. We found an accounting firm who told us they can do our declarations and that all we have to do is to send them the documents proving our incomes and to provide the password for access to the Finan莽as portal.

I asked if we need to sign any agreement and they said no agreement is needed.

Is this customary? In Canada the accountants used to give me a form to sign where I was agreeing that they gain access to my tax account.

I saw the same online for some accountants in Portugal.

Any advice?...

Thanks a lot for input.

I have used Mariana at Atlantic in Villamoura.

5 years, never met her.

She sends forms, I complete, send by email back, she does my returns in Portuguese for a very fair price.

We have only met our account once & that was before covid now we send everything to her by email & she acknowledges receiving the paperwork then we get an email saying done then we get an email from the IRS saying they have received paperwork then you get a bill in the post to pay very simple
