Sounds good news. This communication from the Portugal gov site seems to tie up with what a contabilista (accountant) is telling me.
https://www.ugal.gov.pt/pt/gc23/comunicacao/comunicado?i=emigrantes-fora-da-ue-poderao-trocar-representante-fiscal-por-notificacoes-eletronicas - Emigrants outside the EU may exchange tax representative for electronic notifications - XXIII Government - Portuguese Republic (portugal.gov.pt)
"Emigrants outside the EU may exchange tax representative for electronic notifications Portuguese taxpayers residing outside the European Union, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein may join the new system of electronic notifications and citations on the Finance Portal from 1 July. With this upreach, all taxpayers residing outside those countries may waive the designation of tax representative.
In addition, taxpayers resident in the UNITED Kingdom – whose obligation to appoint a tax representative is suspended until 30 June 2022 – will be able to join the electronic notification and citation system on the Finance Portal during the second half of 2022. Alternatively, if you choose not to adhere to this system, you can designate a tax representative by December 31, 2022 without penalty.
The access to electronic notifications can be made directly on the Finance Portal (www.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt/):
a) Notifications and citations on the Finance Portal ? Accessing "My Area" > "Notifications and Quotes" > "Manage Channels" > "Notification Channels" > "Finance Portal" > "Enable"
On the Finance Portal will be available the generality of notifications relating to Value Added Tax (VAT), the Municipal Property Tax (IMI), as well as those relating to settlement notes and payments of Tax on the Income of Natural Persons (IRS) and administrative litigation.
Taxpayers residing abroad who do not maintain any legal-tax relationship with the country are already exempt from appointing tax representative in Portugal.."
