Show Notes
Portugal’s tax landscape is entering a new phase of transition. While the previous government focused on the housing crisis and tightening tax benefits for foreigners, the current administration has signaled a clear pivot toward supply-side reforms — prioritizing lower personal and corporate taxes to drive investment and growth.
Key Policy Changes Under Consideration:
- Personal Income Tax: Reduction in brackets from seven to five, with lower rates for middle-income earners.
- Corporate Tax: Main rate to fall from 21% to 15%, alongside the elimination of corporate surcharges.
- Wealth & Crypto: Possible introduction of an inheritance tax targeting high-net-worth individuals (debate ongoing).
- Housing: Renewed focus on increasing supply and reviewing prior interventionist policies.
Key Takeaway:
Portugal’s new fiscal direction reflects a pro-growth strategy — aiming to attract capital, simplify taxation, and restore confidence in the domestic economy.
