Tax Benefits 2025

The application of minimum values for taxes and fees is a trend in fiscal policy that the Municipality of Vila Verde will maintain in 2025, with the aim of ensuring responsible management of resources and implementing a strategy to affirm the municipality and consolidate its cohesion and competitiveness.

IMI remains at the lowest level of 0.3% and is further reduced for families with two or more children, with the respective exemption extended under Article 46 of the Tax Benefits Statute. Low-income families and young people are entitled to exemption or reduction of urban planning fees for housing construction. Residents up to 40 years of age benefit from exemption or reduction of IMT when purchasing a home.

Larger and low-income families have access to exemption or social tariffs within the scope of water supply and basic sanitation tariffs.

Local institutions and associations are generally granted exemptions from municipal fees.

With regard to incentives for economic activity, micro and small enterprises are granted exemption from the payment of the municipal surcharge (derrama), along with tax benefits for investment and business projects that contribute to the creation of new jobs. Tourism, agricultural, forestry and industrial enterprises continue to benefit from exemptions from applicable urban planning fees.

With people at the center of priorities, the municipal executive is focusing on a year of investment “with significant works in infrastructure and equipment of fundamental importance for the promotion of well-being and the progressive improvement of living conditions, in a process that involves all parishes of the municipality.”
