@Wibble2024,

it is highly recommended that you consult with a certified Portuguese tax professional (Contabilista), at least at the first year you have this kind of income.

For your specific situation, you will likely need the main Modelo 3 form plus the following Annexes:

Annex / Anexo J: This is the mandatory annex for declaring all foreign-sourced income, regardless of whether it is ultimately taxed or exempt under NHR/DTA. This is where you declare your foreign freelance income and your UK pensions.

Your freelance income falls under Category B (Rendimentos Empresariais e Profissionais). Since the work was for foreign companies and was likely performed outside Portugal (or may be eligible for exemption under the NHR rules, depending on the nature of the work and the Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) with the UK), you would typically declare it in Annex J.

Look for the specific quadro (section/box) relating to "Rendimentos da Categoria B" (Business and Professional Income). You will need to identify the country of source (e.g., UK, if the companies are UK-based) and the relevant article of the DTA (e.g., the article on Business Profits or Independent Personal Services) that allows for the exemption.

How to fill anexo J:

Annex / Anexo SS: This is required for self-employed/freelance activity ("Categoria B" income) to calculate Social Security contributions, even if the income is foreign-sourced and potentially exempt from IRS tax.

Thank you again, Johnny. This is very helpful.
