Vom Unternehmen geschrieben
Taxbordr provides Portuguese and cross-border tax advice for international residents, founders, investors and families. Telmo Ramos, a member of the Ordem dos Economistas (member no. 16379), leads the technical review. The team works in English and Portuguese with clients in Portugal and abroad. The Tax Position Review costs EUR 500, including VAT. It includes a 30-minute call with Telmo and a written answer to the agreed tax question, with material risks and practical next steps. The written review is delivered within 3 business days after the call and receipt of all required information. Further work is optional and agreed separately. Clients can also arrange Portuguese tax-return preparation directly. Other services include IFICI application support, residence and treaty analysis, foreign-income and pension reporting, freelancer setup, tax-authority responses and coordination with advisers abroad. We confirm the work, fees and responsibilities in writing before starting. If you are unsure which service fits, or have an approaching or missed tax deadline, contact us before booking or paying.

Poor follow-up, missed communication and refund issues
I paid €500 for a Tax Position Review concerning a time-sensitive Portuguese tax matter with a known deadline. The overall experience was deeply disappointing.
A significant part of the arrangement was that the €500 review fee could be credited against a subsequent implementation engagement above €1,500.
On 28 July, immediately after receiving the review, I confirmed in writing that I wanted Taxbordr to proceed with the Portuguese implementation work. I asked for a fixed-fee proposal, a timeline aligned with the tax deadline, and the invoice for the €500 already paid.
On 30 July I followed up again and supplied additional documentation. I received no response.
I contacted them again on 24 August, including another request for the invoice. Again, no response.
Because the matter had a hard tax deadline, I ultimately had to hire and pay another Portuguese tax professional to complete the work and protect my tax position.
Taxbordr later acknowledged in writing that my emails of 28 and 30 July had gone unanswered for almost a month and described that failure as theirs.
I also repeatedly requested the invoice/accounting document for the €500 payment. On 3 September I was told it would be issued that week, but it had still not been provided at the time of my subsequent follow-up.
After my complaint, a €300 partial refund was agreed. On 3 September I was told in writing: “I processed the refund on the amount you requested just now.” The refund did not arrive.
Taxbordr subsequently confirmed in writing that the agreed €300 refund was not conditional on changing or removing my reviews. That position was later changed, and the refund was made conditional on amending or removing a public review.
The issue for me is not simply one delayed email. It is the combination of almost a month without follow-up on a time-sensitive tax matter, having to hire another professional to complete the implementation, repeated delays in receiving the requested invoice, and the subsequent handling of the agreed refund.
Based on my experience, I would not use Taxbordr again.
Two years with Taxbordr — clear answers, no surprises
I've been working with Telmo's team at Taxbordr — International Tax Advisors, Lda — for two years, and Carol has handled our filings throughout.
What I value most is that nothing is left half-finished. Our 2024 returns turned into a complicated case: while the matter was still being regularised, the Tax Authority created instalment plans on its own initiative, and the portal kept showing amounts with no real basis behind them. Carol went back through it, explained exactly what each entry meant, and stayed with it until everything was properly closed.
The 2025 returns went through cleanly — self-employment income under the simplified regime, foreign income correctly reported, and both assessments checked against what had been filed before they even reached us.
Clear explanations, answers that actually answer the question, no surprises. We're carrying on with them.

Very good help from Carol Mendes at Bordr, putting together and submitting my tax return.
Services ongoing - review will be finalised once complete
Finally a good and reliable accounting team for expats in Portugal!
I've been working with Telmo, Carol, and the team at Taxbordr for a few months, and my only regret is not starting sooner. After dealing with several unreliable accountants, I found Telmo's services online. From our first interaction, it was clear that he knows his stuff and provides excellent advice. I especially appreciated how he took the time to understand my situation BEFORE suggesting a solution—something my previous accountants failed to do. I’ve now subscribed to Taxbordr’s services long-term, which allows me to reach out to their team for advice and questions anytime. They handle my taxes, and now I can focus on my business without the stress.
Best advisors and service
I would be at a massive loss without the guidance, expertise, and support of Taxbordr's team. Filing taxes can never be truly easy, especially when it comes to filing in two countries (Portugal and US) as this navigation can be very complex for the less-experienced. I am beyond happy and thankful for the team's services in taking care of my filing obligations et al ... constant availability for enquiries, thorough, easy to manage, and I know I will entrust my tax filing needs etc. to the team here.

Big thanks to Carol and Telmo for helping me on two seperate occasions now.
I found myself in a pretty tricky position as a result of a previous tax accountant making a mistake. They were able to help me out and have that all resolved. As well as file my tax return. Super helpful!
Would highly recommend!

Alejandro has helped me a lot with the tax structure for the incorporation of an entity in Europe. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant.
I will work with him again!
Very knowledgable Tax Advisor with common sense
I had a difficult and extensive tax situation to handle and was searching for a tax advisor where I had no need to go to Lisbon several times or have constant meetings and calls, since my free time is very limited. Already 2 hours after reaching out over a chat function ( on a Sunday! ), Telmo answered me very friendly and professional and wanted to gather more information about the issue and already a few days later he presented me a draft of an invoice about the discussed amount and was ready to do his magic. Telmo and Carol were constantly working on my case I had the impression since they provided me permanent feedback and also I could see the first results very soon. After not even 2 months the majority of my requests were handled with a positive outcome. During this time I always had the feeling that both of them were eager to answer my questions and to find the best and not the fastest resolution if necessary. One process is still ongoing and I can see, that they are working hard on resolving this as well for good and never give up, just because it would be convinient. And the best thing, we handled everything via Email, I never had to worry about extensive meetings and calls and every contact was happening with utmost friendly politeness and professionalism. If you need a tax advisor company where you have to give minimum effort but get maximum outcome, Telmo and TAXBORDR is the right one for you! My highest appreciation to Telmo and Carol and I am looking forward to the last task finished 😊 Tatjana Sobota
Professional, thorough, and efficient service
I reached out to Telmo for assistance in obtaining acceptance for the NHR tax regime for myself and my husband. Telmo and his colleague Carol took care of not only submitting the two applications, but also prerequisite items like removing a prior fiscal representation entity, and getting the tax authority to update our fiscal address. They accomplished all of these things promptly, and kept me informed at each step. I was impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness they both brought to their work. They also explain topics well and are kind people. I would highly recommend working with Telmo and his team, and look forward to using their services again.
Amazing advisor!
I have had an absolute amazing experience with Telmo and TR Tax Advisor! It took me some time to find the right accountant and advisor for my taxes because I travel a lot and as a digital nomad, I need an advisor who is young, dynamic and understand my challenges. Telmo is exactly that. Great knowledge and overall approach to my taxes. Highly recommend!!
Amazing!
As an expat and business owner in Portugal, navigating the tax system can be quite daunting. However, since I've started using Tr Tax Advisor for my accounting needs, things have become a breeze!
They are providing everything needed! Expertise, professionalism, communication and more importantly my peace of mind!
Top-Notch Tax Advisor for Small Businesses
I recently had the pleasure of working with the best tax advisor for my small business, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Their expertise and knowledge in tax matters were truly impressive. He not only guided me through the intricacies of tax regulations but also provided invaluable advice to optimize my business's financial strategies.
What stood out the most was their sharp intellect and ability to devise innovative solutions tailored to my specific needs. His level of personalized attention is a true testament to their dedication and commitment to their clients' success.
Additionally, their kindness and approachability made the entire process a breeze. He took the time to explain complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner, making me feel confident and well-informed every step of the way.

How to say ?
I am a foreigner in Portugal , I used to have bad experiences with lawyers here and some tax documents got messed up Bc my previous lawyer didn’t do anything . I found Telmo on a expart group on Facebook and asked him to help me change the address + request for pw for my tax . He’s very professional, thoughtful and super supportive throughout the process. It took around 1-2 weeks for me to change the address and receive password. For me , he’s worth it , it saved me a lot of time and headaches . I will definitely recommend his services to others . Thank you, Telmo.

"I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Telmo. From the moment I started working with him, I have experienced a remarkable level of professionalism and expertise. Telmo demonstrated a deep knowledge of tax planning, investments, and fiscal strategies, and was always willing to explain complex financial details in a clear and accessible manner.
What impressed me the most was the personalized approach. Telmo took into account my individual tax goals, risk tolerance, and current situation, creating a tailor-made plan to achieve my objectives. Furthermore, he maintained open and transparent communication, keeping me informed about the performance of my investments and making adjustments as needed.
I feel much more confident about my finances now, thanks to the excellent service of my tax consultant Telmo. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking solid and personalized financial guidance. It's an investment worth making to ensure a secure and prosperous fiscal future."
Would highly recommend Telmo :)
I’ve really enjoyed working with Telmo, after being a bit daunted submitting my self employed tax returns in Portugal, it was a bit overwhelming learning a new system after coming from the Uk. Telmo has put my mind at ease, being both friendly and professional he has resolved many things for me, making my life in Portugal feel a lot easier and I look forward to continue working with him throughout the years.
Highly Satisfied!
Telmo is a great guy! he was absolutely amazing to work with. Will definitely recommend him any day!
