TVI Notícias8 September 2026 at 21:19

The prime minister announced a bonus on pensions and income tax relief up to the sixth bracket for the end of the year. This measure was presented as a way to neutralize the effect of a motion of censure presented by the Chega party. The initiative aims to respond to political criticisms with concrete benefits for the Portuguese. As has happened in previous situations, taxpayers will receive income tax with retroactive adjustments applied.
