Students living away from their permanent residence may be entitled to deduct accommodation expenses from their Portuguese income tax (IRS).
To benefit from this deduction, students must register their status as a displaced student on the Portuguese Tax Authority Portal (Portal das Finanças). If this registration is not completed, the Portuguese Tax and Customs Authority (AT) will not recognise the deduction.
This tax benefit applies to students who:
After logging into the Tax Portal, students should access the e-Arrendamento section and select "Register Displaced Student". The rental contracts registered with the Tax Authority in which the student is listed as a tenant will be displayed automatically.
Students should select the relevant contract, indicate the period during which they are living away from home (up to 12 months) and specify the borough (freguesia) of their household's tax residence.
This deduction applies to rental or sub-rental agreements covering an entire property or part of a property.
Once the entire process has been completed, whenever the landlord issues rent receipts through the Tax Authority Portal, these will include the indication: “The tenancy/subtenancy is intended for a displaced student.”

For further information, please contact the Health Centre where you wish to register.
