Hi Peter
I don´t know if that will work over here. The Portuguese government, have some particular rules regarding cars. If you buy a new car in Portugal, you pay the price of the vehicle with the vehicle tax on the top, (generally a few thousand Euros), plus 20% V.A.T on the top of all that. It seems that the Portuguese government has been bucked for a few years, regarding that vehicle tax, but the Portuguese say that, until the E.U fine about it doesn´t go higher than the money they collect with that tax, they will not comply with the E.U. ruling about it. Also, I don´t know how updated is that site, because it was 6 month´s you could be over here with a foreign reg vehicle, but by law you had to pay Portuguese road tax for the last 3, if you wanted to be legal. Now, can´t say it for sure, but the information I had about that matter a few months ago, you was only aloud 3 months, a year, in this country with a foreign reg vehicle. I will ask a Portuguese friend of mine to give a call to the Portuguese D.V.L.A to clarify that, and I will let you know.
