| IMT — non-resident acquirer of urban residential property | 7.5% flat rate, always, with no exemption or reduction (unless one of the three carve-outs below applies)DL 97/2026, de 20 de maio, added CIMT Art. 17.º n.º 10. The 7.5% applies whenever the acquirer is NOT tax-resident in Portugal and the urban property (or autonomous fraction) is destined exclusively for habitation. It replaces the progressive Tabela I/III rates for that acquirer. Based on tax residency (IRS Art. 16.º), not nationality — EU and non-EU treated the same. | CIMT Art. 17.º n.º 10 (DL 97/2026) |
| Carve-out (a) — acquirer already tax-resident in Portugal | The 7.5% does NOT apply where the acquirer was already tax-resident in Portugal (IRS Art. 16.º) — the normal progressive rates apply instead | CIMT Art. 17.º n.º 10 al. a) (DL 97/2026) |
| Carve-out (b) — acquirer becomes tax-resident within 2 years | The 7.5% is refunded down to the normal rates where the acquirer becomes tax-resident in Portugal (IRS Art. 16.º) within 2 years of the acquisition dateThe 7.5% is paid upfront at the deed; the difference is annulled/refunded on request once residency is established within 2 years. | CIMT Art. 17.º n.º 10 al. b) + n.º 11 (DL 97/2026) |
| Carve-out (c) — moderate-rent long-term letting | The 7.5% is refunded where the property is let for habitation at a moderate rent (≤ €2,300/month in 2026) within 6 months of acquisition, and let for at least 36 months (consecutive or interpolated) over the first 5 years | CIMT Art. 17.º n.º 10 al. c) + n.º 11 (DL 97/2026) |
| Refund mechanism — annulment of the difference | Where carve-out (b) or (c) occurs, the Tax Authority (AT) annuls, on request, the difference between the 7.5% paid and the normal Art. 17.º n.º 1 progressive rates. The request must be filed within 6 months of becoming resident / signing the lease.The 7.5% is always paid in full at completion; the buyer reclaims the difference afterwards, so budget the full amount upfront regardless of plans. | CIMT Art. 17.º n.º 11 e n.º 12 (DL 97/2026) |
| Moderate-rent cap (carve-out c) | €2,300 / month (2026) = 2.5 × the minimum monthly wage (RMMG €920)The moderate-rent ceiling that unlocks carve-out (c) is set at 2.5 × the RMMG. With the 2026 RMMG of €920, that is €2,300/month; it moves with the minimum wage. | DL 97/2026 Art. 2.º n.º 2 al. a) |
| Scope of the non-resident 7.5% | Urban RESIDENTIAL property only (not land, commercial or rural). Residency-based (IRS Art. 16.º), not nationality-based — EU and non-EU buyers treated the same.Distinct from the separate 10% agravamento that DL 97/2026 also created when a property bought at the own-permanent-home (HPP) reduced rate is not actually assigned to HPP within the required period (an anti-abuse rule). | CIMT Art. 17.º n.º 10 (DL 97/2026) |
