Nice work! Excellent info, professionally provided. Convinced me to just buy a Portuguese vehicle rather than an EU one. Thanks for the info

Can I buy car in the country of residence now, move to Portugal and bring it in after 6 month?

How many of my personal cars can I get tax exemption on ?

I know I'm late to the party but did I hear it correctly. You can buy a car in Spain and bring it to Portugal. If yes are there fees, taxes? Thank you.
