With effect from 1 January 2022 the Portuguese authorities do not sign or deal in any way deal with DT forms sent to them. Individuals have to go online using the Portuguese government portal and get a Certificate which confirms they are tax resident in Portugal. This can be sent along with a DT individual form to HMRC .The form can be validated by HMRC by scanning the QR code on the certificate. The problem is exacerbated by the amount of time HMRC take to respond to communications and the fact that tax deducted 1.can not be spent, 2.can not be reinvested in the pension, and 3.do not gain any interest whilst in the HMRC coffers.
