The great test to the rental market starts today

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 06:55

The article addresses new tax rules that come into force today for the rental market in Portugal. These rules apply to landlords and large investors, establishing a new taxation regime for the sector.

In exchange for the new tax obligations, owners receive generous exemptions, but commit to practicing more moderate rents throughout the country. The objective is to control rental prices and make them more affordable.

The article describes this change as a "great test" to the rental market, suggesting it is a significant measure with considerable potential impact on the Portuguese real estate sector.

US oil reserves are at the lowest level since 1982

The United States' strategic petroleum reserves reached their lowest level since 1982 on August 31, at 289.7 million barrels, potentially dropping to 243 million if President Donald Trump releases another 39 million barrels. The White House revealed details of an agreement with Venezuela, described as the "largest oil agreement" in world history, granting the US majority control over 65 billion barrels of proven Venezuelan reserves. The agreement, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, through the company North American Blue Energy Partners, guarantees the US a 35% stake in the parent company, rights to purchase 20% of production at cost of production to replenish the strategic reserve depleted by Joe Biden, and veto power over board appointments.
