representante fiscal
A person or firm with a Portuguese address whom you register with the tax office as your representative while you live abroad. They receive letters from Finanças on your behalf. Once you become resident and change your address to a Portuguese one, you no longer need a representative.
Where you come across it. Getting a NIF before you move.
Many people go on paying a representative for years because they forgot to remove them after moving.
