Briefings
The Portuguese government expects fiscal revenue to rise 4.2% in 2027, reaching 70.672 million euros, driven primarily by an increase in Value Added Tax (IVA) to 30.283 million euros, surpassing the 30 million euro threshold for the first time. This growth is attributed to higher consumption and nominal wages, while other taxes like Income Tax (IRS) and Corporate Income Tax (IRC) face reductions. The budget for 2026 was revised upward by 1.1% to 67.065 million euros, reflecting improved consumption estimates.
