Portugal’s IRS tax filing season is about to begin, and outcomes in 2025 may differ from previous years. Due to lower withholding tax rates, many taxpayers are likely to receive smaller refunds or even face additional payments. This makes careful preparation essential, including verifying all expenses in the e-Fatura system and manually adding any missing items while keeping supporting documents. A new measure introduces a 5% deduction on household services, capped at €200. Capital income, such as interest, can in some cases be combined with regular income to reduce tax liability. Although automatic tax returns remain convenient, they may not always deliver the best result, so comparing them with manual filing and alternative scenarios is strongly recommended.
