HVR's newsletter is free and brings to your inbox the tax changes that affect companies and self-employed people in Portugal, the deadlines coming up and practical guides written by Hugo Ribeiro, Certified Accountant (OCC no. 64356). Each issue cites the legal basis for what it says, and you can unsubscribe in one click.

Examples of 2026 topics
Corporate tax at 19%. The standard rate fell to 19% for tax years starting in 2026, with 15% on an SME's first €50,000 of taxable income (art. 87 of the Corporate Tax Code and art. 3 of Law 64/2025).
New Social Security cycle. Decree-Law 127/2025 moves contribution payments to the 1st–25th of the following month; joining is optional in 2026 and mandatory in 2027.
Modelo 22 deadline. Filing for the 2025 tax year was extended to 30 June 2026 (Order 81/2026-XXV-SEAF).
VAT exemption threshold. The article 53 VAT exemption applies up to €15,000 of turnover, as amended by Decree-Law 35/2025.
Who it is for
For managers and partners of SMEs, self-employed professionals, foreigners with activity in Portugal and finance teams who want to follow the law without reading the Official Journal. The pieces are written for decision-makers, not specialists, but never simplified to the point of being wrong.
