What it is for

Notify the start of a lease or sublease
Notify changes to the agreement or its termination
Report a promise to lease where the property has already been handed over

Example (fictitious). Titus Gorila is about to let a two-bedroom flat and wants to understand what goes into the notification to the Tax and Customs Authority (Finanças).

What it is

Stamp Duty Form 2 (Modelo 2 do Imposto do Selo) is used by anyone who leases, subleases or promises to lease (lessor, sub-lessor, prospective lessor) to inform the Tax and Customs Authority (AT). It has sections for the properties, the landlords and the tenants, with continuation sheets if more space is needed. As a rule, the notification is made on the Tax Portal (Portal das Finanças); paper is only valid in the situations the AT allows. It is not the lease agreement itself or a rent receipt, and we do not make the notification for you.

What you receive

You receive the official blank PDF form, with an explanation of what it is for. The Titus assistant answers your questions about filling it in. You can combine it with other documents in the same request, with a single payment. We do not ask for any password for forms.

Things to note

This is a blank form: responsibility for the details and the signature lies with the landlord or with whoever the form specifies. Please confirm with the Tax and Customs Authority (Finanças) the current version and whether your case can be handled on paper; we do not submit it and do not guarantee acceptance.
