Tax authority pays 2.66 million in income tax refunds with average value of 980 euros

Notícias de Coimbra3 September 2026 at 16:18

The Ministry of Finance paid 2.590 million euros in income tax refunds by August 31, representing almost the entirety of the 2.660 million euros forecast. The average value of each refund stood at 980 euros.

This refund process is part of the income tax campaign related to the previous fiscal year, which took place over the first months of the year. The Tax and Customs Authority was responsible for managing and processing these refunds.

The available data indicates that the overwhelming majority of taxpayers who were entitled to a refund have already received the amount due. The average of 980 euros per refund suggests that the distribution of amounts was relatively balanced among the different taxpayer profiles.
