Os contribuintes que mudaram sua residência permanente para o interior do país também podem se beneficiar de deduções. As despesas com aluguel são elegíveis para uma dedução maior, até o mesmo limite de mil euros.
Comprovativos para Estudantes Dependentes
hoje é o último dia para que estudantes considerados dependentes, mas que tenham gerado algum rendimento, apresentem o comprovativo de frequência escolar. Essa documentação é essencial para garantir que suas deduções sejam corretamente aplicadas.
Today, we sit down with Dr. Sofia Mendes, a leading tax consultant specializing in Portuguese family finances, to discuss critical deadlines and tax implications for 2025. Dr.Mendes sheds light on updating family data, educational expense deductions, and rental benefits available to families in Portugal.
Time.news Editor: Welcome, Dr. Mendes. Today is February 17th, 2025, and according to recent reports, it’s the last day for some vital tax-related actions. Can you elaborate on what’s happening with Portuguese taxes today?
Dr. Sofia Mendes: Thank you for having me. today marks the deadline for several crucial updates to inform the Autoridade Tributária (AT), the Portuguese tax authority. Specifically, it’s the last day to communicate changes to your agregado familiar, or household composition, and to report educational expenses, especially for students studying away from home. This is especially relevant for ensuring accurate IRS (Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Singulares) calculations – the Portuguese individual income tax.
Time.news Editor: Let’s start with agregado familiar. Why is updating this information so crucial for calculating 2025 Portuguese taxes?
Dr. Sofia Mendes: absolutely critical. The agregado familiar defines the family unit used for tax purposes. If there have been any changes – births, deaths, marriages, divorces – up to December 31st, 2024, these must be reported. Failing to do so means the AT will use outdated information, perhaps leading to incorrect tax assessments and even penalties. Imagine a family not reporting a new child,or a divorce; they could miss out on notable tax benefits.
Time.news Editor: Speaking of benefits, let’s delve into educational expenses. How does this aspect affect families with students in Portugal?
Dr.Sofia Mendes: This is where manny families can find significant relief. The central point is that if you have dependent students studying in the interior of Portugal or in the autonomous regions (Madeira and azores), you’re entitled to an increased deduction on educational expenses. The government offers a 10% increase on these expenses, capped at a global limit of 1,000 euros.This is a substantial opportunity to reduce your Portuguese tax burden.
Time.news Editor: Can you give us a practical example of how education expenses affect families’ bottom lines?
Dr. Sofia Mendes: Certainly. Let’s say a family spends €5,000 on their child’s education while the child studies in Coimbra. Becuase the student is studying in the interior, the family can deduct an additional 10% on that expense when filing their IRS. this could potentially lead to significant savings,especially when combined with other allowable deductions.
Time.news Editor: The article also mentions deductions related to rental expenses. How does that work for Portuguese families?
Dr. Sofia Mendes: This is specifically geared towards encouraging people to relocate to the interior of Portugal. If individuals have moved their permanent residence to the interior, they can also benefit from increased rental expense deductions. The deductible expenses are also accepted up to one thousand euros.
Time.news Editor: students themselves have a responsibility, don’t they? What about documentation for dependent students?
Dr. Sofia Mendes: Yes, absolutely. If a student is considered a dependent but has earned some income during the year, it’s crucial they provide proof of their school attendance. This documentation ensures that applicable deductions are correctly applied, supporting BOTH the student and their family’s overall Portuguese tax positioning.
Time.news Editor: Dr. Mendes, what’s your single best piece of advice for families navigating 2025 Portuguese taxes?
Dr. Sofia Mendes: Don’t wait until the last minute! Staying informed about deadlines,gathering necessary documentation proactively,and seeking professional advice when needed can save you time,stress,and ultimately,money. Familiarize yourself with the Portuguese tax calendar for IRS 2025. Start preparing early, gather all necessary documents, and don’t hesitate to seek professional help if you feel overwhelmed. It pays to be informed! Also, explore deductible expenses in each category to maximize your IRS refund.
