Briefings

The Portuguese government is updating the Income Tax (IRS) rates for 2027, with a proposed 3.88% increase in tax brackets. Simulations by EY show that a single earner earning 10,000 euros could save approximately 698 euros annually due to lower effective tax rates, while a single earner earning 1,500 euros saves around 37 euros. The minimum income threshold is set to 13,580 euros, and the deduction for social support index is also being adjusted. The main uncertainty lies in the final value of the social support index deduction, which is not yet known. The article notes that the government has already proposed reducing tax rates for the sixth bracket, which will be voted on October 28.
