Prime minister announces supplement for pensioners and IRS relief up to sixth bracket

Notícias de Coimbra8 September 2026 at 15:41

The prime minister announced today the granting of an extraordinary supplement for pensionists receiving up to 1,611 euros. This measure aims to support the most vulnerable citizens given the current economic situation.

The government also announced tax relief in IRS, which will be applied up to the sixth bracket. This tax reduction measure aims to help medium-income taxpayers.

The measures were presented by the prime minister as part of a broader set of policies to address the cost of living. The announcement was made as part of a communication to the country about the executive's priorities.

Pensioners and workers with intermediate incomes are the main beneficiaries of these measures. The government justifies these initiatives as a response to the economic difficulties faced by Portuguese families.
