Hi @Aisha200 

Hope all is well. The problem you're facing is potentially double taxation, where the same income is taxed by two different countries. Many countries have double taxation agreements (DTAs) to mitigate this. These agreements typically allocate taxing rights between the countries involved. I suggest to seek advice from tax advisors specializing in international taxation, ideally those familiar with both Portuguese and Nigerian tax laws.

Hope this helps.
