serviço de Finanças (local tax office)

The local office of the AT tax authority — the one assigned to you by the address of your tax domicile. You go there for things that can't be sorted out on the portal: a payment plan, an objection, a certificate, a dispute over an assessment.

Where you come across it. Tax domicile, IRS payment plans, certificates, tax debts.
Your office is determined by the address registered with the tax authority, not by where you actually live: if you have moved, change your domicile, or letters will go to the old address and deadlines will run without your knowing. Many decisions (including on payment plans) are taken personally by the head of your office.
