Amadora keeps IMI property tax at the minimum 0.3%, and residents will get back 1.75% of their IRS instead of 1.5%
Amadora council, in the town next to Lisbon, approved its local tax rates on 6 November. The rate of IMI, the annual property tax, on urban property stays at the lowest level allowed: 0.3% of the rateable value rather than the maximum 0.45%; for rural land it is 0.8%. This is the tax for 2026, which is paid in 2027 (Observador).
Families with children and other dependants will also get a fixed reduction in IMI: €30 with one dependant, €70 with two and €140 with three or more.
The council is cutting its share of IRS income tax from 3.5% to 3.25%. A municipality may keep up to 5% of the IRS paid by its residents; whatever it gives up is deducted from residents' own tax bills. This means Amadora residents will pay 1.75% less IRS on their 2027 income, rather than 1.5% as now. The reduction will be applied when the tax is calculated in 2028.
Companies with a turnover of up to €150,000 are exempt from the local tax on profits (derrama); all others pay 1.5% of their profits. In total, the council estimates that these measures will cost the town more than €15 million in revenue. The decision still has to be approved by Amadora's municipal assembly (Assembleia Municipal).
