Finance Ministry admits possibility of another pensioner 'bonus' in 2027

The government is considering repeating in 2027 the extraordinary supplement for pensioners that is scheduled to be paid this year. The current 2026 bonus is set to be distributed alongside the December pension payment.

Why it mattersIf you are a pensioner, there is a possibility of receiving an additional financial supplement next year, though this is currently only under consideration and not a guaranteed payment.

Minister assures tax neutrality for salary increases up to 4.5%

The Minister of Finance stated that the 2027 State Budget proposal ensures 'tax neutrality' for salary increases of up to 4.5%. This is achieved by updating IRS brackets by 3.88%, raising the 'mínimo de existência' (subsistence threshold), and maintaining the previously proposed reductions in IRS rates, ensuring that individuals receiving such raises will pay less IRS in 2027 than in 2026.
