"Surely it won't be 6 or 7 euros per month that will allow us to combat the increase in fuel prices"

CNN Portugal9 September 2026 at 17:48

Vasco Rosendo, Economy editor at CNN Portugal, analyzes the impact that the IRS reduction will have on Portuguese households' finances. The commentary comes in the context of fiscal measures implemented to help families cope with rising prices.

According to Rosendo's analysis, the IRS reduction will translate into very small amounts for taxpayers. The headline phrase indicates that amounts of 6 or 7 euros per month are clearly insufficient to face the increase in fuel prices.

The Economy editor at CNN Portugal thus highlights the gap between the fiscal support offered and the reality of the increase in the cost of living, particularly with regard to fuel prices. His analysis suggests that the implemented measures will not be sufficient to offset the effects of inflation on fuel prices.
