About the Team 

The Tax Department has the mission to cover all aspects related to tax which may have an impact on any of the BNP Paribas Group entities present in Portugal (which are associated to banking and insurance sectors, vehicles’ renting activity, real estate, among others), working in respect of the internal and external Tax policies, integrated in the local set-up of the Group, as well as integrated within the Group Tax Department. Naturally, the local tax team works in compliance with the Portuguese legislation, as well as with international tax law, providing support for management decisions. Besides the local business of the branch, we provide a dedicated support to all the Group entities present in Portugal.

The Tax Department is in charge of all Portuguese taxes (except for those associated to employees) therefore a transversal profile is requested.
