Duarte Marques, for his part, highlighted that requesting review by the Constitutional Court does not mean being against the law, seeking to clarify the position of those who requested the assessment of the norm.

Rui Rocha suggests that self-employed workers register their activity at the prime minister's address [video]

Deputy Rui Rocha, former president of Iniciativa Liberal, published a video on social media accusing the Tax Authority of penalizing self-employed workers who have their professional activity registered at their own home, by denying them the capital gains exemption benefit when selling property if the value is reinvested in purchasing a new house. The parliamentarian considers that this interpretation has no legal basis and argued that legislation will be needed to clarify the matter. In the meantime, he ironically suggested that self-employed workers indicate the prime minister's address as the activity address, in a political provocation aimed at confronting the head of Government with the consequences of the fiscal interpretation he criticizes.
