- The Portuguese Supreme Administrative Court clarified the application of the reduced VAT rate for urban rehabilitation contracts.
- A company applied the reduced 6% VAT rate to a new building in a designated Urban Rehabilitation Area (ARU).
- The Tax Authority rejected this, arguing that a previously approved Urban Rehabilitation Operation (ORU) is also required.
- The Court upheld the Tax Authority’s interpretation, confirming both ARU location and ORU approval are necessary for the reduced VAT rate.
