Can a landlord renting a house for 2,000 euros pay zero tax? The SIC Verifica fact-check

Landlords can receive a full tax exemption on rental income under the Affordable Rental Simplified Regime (RSAA) if the rent stays within government-set caps by municipality and typology. While 2,000 euros is generally above these limits, landlords can increase their property's maximum allowable rent by 10% for having a private parking space and another 10% for having an energy certificate of Class A or higher, allowing for a cumulative 20% increase that can push the qualifying threshold for tax exemption above 2,000 euros in high-cost areas like Lisbon, Cascais, Oeiras, and Porto.
