Not included, and why
- Acquisition tax is excluded because the asset and structure are not yet qualified. Confirm with a Portuguese tax adviser before relying on any figure.
Assumptions
- Percentages are applied to construction cost and reflect common practice.
- IMT is estimated at 6.5% plus 0.8% stamp duty; the actual rate depends on the land and use.
- Amounts exclude VAT. Construction is normally 23%, or 6% for qualifying rehabilitation in ARU areas.
Indicative ranges for early decisions only. Outcomes depend on the municipality, the PDM and the specific site. Not legal, tax or planning advice.
