Renting your property

 

As a way of reducing the annual costs of owning a holiday home it is worth considering renting your property, even if for at least for a few weeks during Summer. The extra income is always welcome to assist upkeep of your holiday home.


Rental licenses (Licença de alojamento local)


The Decreto-Lei n.º39/2008 of 7 March and Portaria 517/2008 25 June states that properties which are rented out, but not licensed as a touristic development, require a Rental Licence. 


These are issued by the local Câmara. Either the  owner or his Lawyer or the property manager can arrange to obtain the proper licence. For this application you will probably need:

 

⦁    Copy title deeds
⦁    Copy of electricity, gas certificates
⦁    Any plans of the property
⦁    Health and Safety plan for the property
⦁    Caderneta predial
⦁    Certidão predial
⦁    Ownership details

 

You will also need to ensure that the property is equipped with the following and is of a reasonable standard which may be verified by an inspector from the Câmara:

 

⦁    Fire safety equipment (extinguishers and fire blanket in kitchen)
⦁    Emergency signs
⦁    Connected to all mains utilities or with their own provision in place
⦁    Hot and cold water
⦁    Proper ventilation system 
⦁    Reasonably furnished
⦁    Proper exterior locks and on bathroom doors
⦁    Adequate changes of linen
⦁    Cleaning schedule
⦁    Complaints book
⦁    First aid facilities with emergency numbers clearly displayed
⦁    Property rules and regulations manual
⦁    Instruction manuals for appliances
⦁    Proper safety measures around swimming pool

 

These are worth putting into place ,its a simple process.

 

Taxation issues

 

If the property is located in Portugal then Portuguese tax has to be paid on any income generated by the property. This applies even if the owner is based outside Portugal and the rental is arranged without the assistance of a Portuguese-based agent.


The property owner is legally obliged to file an income tax return declaring the rental achieved during the year. Expenses can be deducted from the gross income, like:

 

⦁    Annual rates
⦁    Property management & cleaning expenses
⦁    Any improvements on the property
⦁    Condominium charges

 

The tax payable varies- confirm with your accountant.
