The Portuguese government wants to increase the tax progressivity, creating more echelons. This measure could reach 1,5 million families.

More than mixing up with the echelons, the government should alleviate the taxpayers by revising the tax withholding tables, support the ex-secretary of the state for the tax affairs Rogério Fernandes Ferreira. “ There are more and more taxpayers receiving annual tax returns of Income Tax (IRS). Its scandalous because it basically consists in a forced public loan when the state demand higher mensal tax withholdings than necessary”, says the Tax Lawyer to DN/Dinheiro Vivo, that also reminds that this measure also grants another advantages which is “it doesn’t have any effect on the government deficit on the year after”, because the refunds decline.
