“Imposto” means tax. There was no single big tax story on 26 September, and we don't know why people started searching for this word today. Meanwhile, there is a row over the Orçamento do Estado (state budget) for 2027: the government will submit it to parliament by 12 October, the opposition is proposing to cut IVA (VAT) on fuel and food, and the finance minister says that would lead to a deficit. These are only proposals so far; nothing has changed.
What has already been decided: IRS (income tax) is being cut for incomes up to the sixth band of the scale, roughly up to €43,090 of taxable income a year. Less tax will be withheld from November salaries and pensions, and the tax overpaid since January will be refunded at the same time. IUC (car tax) is also due in September for owners of cars registered in that month. How income tax is worked out and paid is explained in the guide How to work out and pay IRS income tax in Portugal, and the car tax in IUC car tax: how much, when and how to pay.
