Individual - Taxes on personal income

Last reviewed - 05 January 2026

Residents in Portugal for tax purposes are taxed on their worldwide income at progressive rates varying from 12.50% to 48% for 2026.

Non-residents are liable to income tax only on Portuguese-source income, which includes not only that portion of remuneration that can be allocated to the activity carried out in Portugal but also remuneration that is paid/borne by a Portuguese company or permanent establishment (PE).

Non-residents are taxed at a flat rate of 25% on their taxable remuneration (e.g. employment, self-employment, and pension income) in 2026.

For the purpose of applying the tax rate, the taxable income is divided by two if the taxpayers are married and not judicially separated, as well as in the case of de facto marriages, whatever the circumstances, should they opt for joint taxation.

Special rates apply to capital gains and investment income.

Additional solidarity rate

In 2026, an additional solidarity rate, which varies between 2.5% and 5%, applies to taxpayers with a taxable income exceeding EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000, respectively.

Subsistence level

Portuguese tax legislation includes a specific rule that ensures individuals who primarily receive employment income, business and professional income, and/or pension income are guaranteed a minimum level of net income (subsistence level).
