taxa de intermediação

taxa de intermediação — the platform's commission for acting as intermediary
The share of the fare that a ride-hailing app keeps for itself. The law sets a cap: no more than 25% of the fare excluding VAT. The rest is split between the operator and the driver under their contract — the state does not regulate this.
Where you come across it. The platform must show the commission to the passenger before the ride and itemise it on the electronic invoice afterwards.
From 1 September 2026, the 25% is calculated on the amount excluding VAT, and the platforms themselves pay the state 5% of the commission they collect. Out of what is left, the driver still has to cover fuel, car hire or wear and tear, insurance, contributions and tax.
