Briefings
A Portuguese government increased the housing deduction limit for tenants from 900 to 1,000 euros in 2027, effective after a May 2024 legislative change. This measure applies to tenants with collectible income up to the first IRS tier, raising the maximum deduction from 1,050 to 1,100 euros. The increase is part of a broader fiscal package aimed at housing crisis, including a reduction of moderate rent tax from 25% to 10%. However, the actual benefit depends on income levels, as only those earning above the threshold gain the full 100 euros, while lower earners see no change. The article notes the measure was already approved in May 2024 and is scheduled to take effect in 2027.
