🚨 Okay, we dropped the ball…
Earlier this year, Portugal changed the way IMT is calculated for non-resident property buyers. And yes… we almost gave one of our clients the wrong figures. 😬
Thankfully, we spotted it about 15 minutes later, checked the new rules and sent them the corrected costings. But it got us thinking: if the new rules caught us out, there are probably plenty of buyers out there who haven’t realised just how much the change could affect their buying costs.
The headline? Non-resident buyers purchasing residential property are now generally subject to a 7.5% IMT rate. But there’s more to it than that.
So, we’ve written a blog explaining what changed, what the numbers can look like and what you need to know if Portugal is going to become your home.
And yes, we’ve updated our templates too! 😉
