Portugal becomes a more attractive destination for young and retired Brazilians
Portugal has become a popular destination for Brazilian retirees, and the recent discussion of Supreme Federal Court (STF) promises to make the country even more advantageous. Although the STF ruling is still awaiting publication, the decision may be retroactive to contributions from the last five years and provides for the end of the 25% tax rate on income from pensions paid abroad. In other words, a great relief for the approximately seven thousand Brazilian retirees who live in the country.
Before the decision, all income received abroad, regardless of the amount, suffered an automatic discount of 25% at source, which harmed many Brazilians who had declared tax exit from Brazil.
With this change, retirees living in Portugal will be able to pay less taxes, in addition to recovering part of what was paid in the last five years. This represents an opportunity to save money and improve the quality of life during retirement in the country.

Portugal can also bring benefits to people up to 35 years old
For younger Brazilians up to 35 years old, Portugal also offers attractive financial incentives.
The IRS for Young People, a measure that is part of the government's budget for 2025, provides for progressive discounts on income tax for young workers, including Brazilians:
- full exemption in the first year
- 75% from second to fourth year
- 50% from fifth to seventh year and
- 25% from eighth to tenth grade
The proposal aims to attract and retain foreign talent, offering an ideal scenario for those who want to start their career or seek new professional opportunities in Portugal.
This special tax regime currently has an age limit of 30 and is valid for five years. In addition, young people who already reside in Portugal but have not yet filed an income tax return can also benefit from these benefits. Read the full report on here.
