Tolls, tax and other fines

Late or inaccurate Portuguese income tax return

Late filing of the Modelo 3 and an omission on a filed return are separate issues. Identify the income year and retain receipts for the original return and every amendment.

What to check in your case

Check whether filing was required that year and the status recorded on the tax portal. A saved draft and a submitted return are different evidence. Waiver or mitigation depends on statutory conditions.
