Applicability Assessment
A reasoned opinion, in English, on whether the Portuguese regime applies to your organisation, which legal person must register and under which category.
Legislative update of 28 July 2026. Act no. 37-A/2026 established the governance of the RTRI, created its Management Board, repealed Article 19 of Act no. 5-A/2026 and replaced the transitional regime with a staggered timetable. English-language commentary published before that date — including the earlier version of this website — is out of date. See the consolidated calendar.
