Hi we ( Ken & Lynda ) have an apartment in the east algarve which is for our retirement. At the moment we are spending at least 2 weeks every 2 months ( often more) there. Where can i get all the info regarding the do,s and dont,s regarding matriculation as i have a car dealership in the UK and it is far cheaper to bring a car over than buy one here? I am aware that a UK vehicke is only allowed 6 months stay. Is it possible to have a dual Uk and Portuguese residency without affecting my UK tax liability as i beleive you get one car matriculation allowance with this? Also where can i get a list of all the tax laws regarding Portuguese liabilitys? is there a web site which gives me any of this informatiom. Well to anyone who can help i thank you in advance. On alighter note we love Portugal and its people and are learning Portuguese in the UK so that we can intergrate and adopt a much more relaxed and healthy lifestyle. It is great to see children being involved with the families. We have been visitors to Portugal for twenty years now and for anyone who likes the Algarve the East coast is today still very Portuguese and hopefully will stay that way. Bye for Now Ken
