I left Lisbon around 7 years ago and moved to Barcelona for games programming gig. Moved to London 3 years ago and life has become less flexible so moving back to Lisbon is just a wish for now.

As you have lived out of Portugal for more than 5 years you would probably qualify for the non habitual tax status, which means you would only pay 20% income tax if you moved back here. You would definitely get a standard of living boost.

Portugal has a new tax regime for non-habitual tax residents. Which is a a flat tax rate of 20%. You can apply for the regime if you have not lived in Portugal for the last 5 years, and your job consists of a high-value-added activity of a scientific, technological or artistic nature. And the benefit lasts for 10 years. See: http://www.ibc-madeira.com/Tax_Regime_for_Non-habitual_Resid...
