We are pleased to have supported Carhartt WIP (Work In Progress) in the establishment of its new store in Lisbon, located in the Chiado district, one of the city’s most emblematic commercial and cultural areas.
Oporto Accounting provided accounting and tax advisory services throughout the entire project, supporting the brand from the incorporation of the commercial company through to the opening of the store. This included guidance on corporate structuring, tax registration and ongoing compliance with Portuguese tax and regulatory requirements, ensuring a smooth and compliant market entry.
The successful opening of the new store reflects the importance of having reliable local support when establishing operations in a new country. For international brands entering the Portuguese market, understanding local tax obligations, accounting standards, and reporting requirements is essential to avoid delays and ensure long-term operational stability.
This project was developed in close collaboration with RSN Advogados, who led the legal advisory component of the process. Working alongside trusted legal partners allows us to provide integrated and structured support, combining legal, tax and accounting expertise under a coordinated approach. This collaboration ensured that all regulatory, corporate and contractual aspects of the project were aligned from the outset.
The opening of this new location further strengthens Carhartt WIP’s presence in Lisbon and reinforces the city’s position as an attractive destination for international brands. Portugal continues to draw foreign investment thanks to its stable regulatory framework, skilled workforce and growing consumer market, particularly in key urban centres such as Lisbon.
At Oporto Accounting, we support international companies throughout all stages of their establishment and expansion in Portugal. From company incorporation to ongoing accounting and tax compliance, our role is to provide clarity, reliability and continuous support, allowing our clients to focus on their business development with confidence.
