Young emigrants can qualify for first home tax breaks in Portugal
Young people (aged 35 or younger) living abroad as tax residents in another EU country remain eligible for IMT and Stamp Duty exemptions when buying a first home in Portugal. To qualify, the buyer must relocate and establish the property as their permanent residence within six months of the purchase. The full exemption applies to properties valued up to €316,772, with partial relief available for values up to €633,453.
Why it matters
If you are under 35 and planning to buy your first home in Portugal, you can claim significant tax exemptions even if you are currently a tax resident abroad, provided you commit to living in the property as your primary residence within six months of the purchase.The Portugal NewsRead original ↗
