- The Portuguese Parliament approved Bill 642/XVII/1 to clarify the 6% VAT rate for urban rehabilitation works from January 1, 2009, to October 6, 2023.
- The bill says being located in a legally defined Urban Rehabilitation Area (ARU) is enough to qualify for the reduced rate.
- It retroactively rejects the Tax Authority’s stricter view that required a prior approved Urban Rehabilitation Operation (ORU).
- This change addresses past cases where taxpayers were charged the standard 23% VAT.
