Briefings

The Portuguese AIMI (Adicional ao Imposto Municipal sobre Imóveis) was introduced in 2017 to tax large fortunes but now affects many small businesses. It applies to urban properties owned by individuals or collectives, calculated annually on residential and construction land values from January 1st. The general rate for collectives is 0.4%, rising to 0.7% for personal use, up to 1% or 1.5% for high-value parcels, and 7.5% for favorable tax regimes. Payment occurs in September after a June liquidation deadline. Companies must choose between deducting the cost as a fiscal expense or against income, with the latter preventing simultaneous deduction as an expense. The article emphasizes the need for professional accounting advice to optimize the final tax burden.
